Ellen Henriette Suhrke
(She/her)
Address: Ove Kristiansens vei 10c, 0751 Oslo
Floor: 1
The studio is open Sunday 27 April from 12-17
My practice may be described as meditations on nature and culture, where human interaction with the environment plays a vital role. Each work is based on planning and background studies, but leaves room for the poetic and unexpected.
