Iris T. Korsnes
(She/her)
Address: GSF studio med Marianne Karlsen, St. Halvardsgate 4, 0192 Oslo
Floor: 1
The studio is open Saturday 26 April from 12-17
In my artistic practice, I explore the social community, such as family structures or other groups where interaction is essential. Themes I am interested in are the human façade, such as the hidden versus what can be seen/perceived, psychological patterns, social construction and feminism linked to craftivism and unity.
