As an artist, I ask myself: Who am I to decide how a form should be? Life is complex, and much of it must simply be accepted as it is, beyond our control. I do not seek to dictate form but to let it emerge through negotiation. By working with discarded wood and residual materials, I aim to preserve the stories embedded within them. My practice seeks to contribute to a world where forms arise collaboratively, without conflict with their surroundings. I stand at the intersection of art, craft, and design, exploring the balance between creation and acceptance.

In my studio

My studio is a woodworking workshop. I will showcase furniture and sculptures, both finished pieces and works in progress. I will also demonstrate my working methods, including classic cabinetmaking techniques, traditional carving methods, and techniques I have developed myself. I look forward to presenting and discussing my work, exploring questions about materiality and form-finding – or simply having a chat.

Planned projects and exhibitions

I am a recent graduate and am currently working on spelling out the design language I have cultivated throughout my studies. I am working on two series: one focused on functional furniture made from solid wood sourced from trees felled in the city, and another focused on using wood waste that I find throughout Oslo.
My next planned exhibition will be during Designer’s Saturday 2025.
