I am an interior architect and artist with a practice spanning curation, writing, installation, and design. In my work I am interested in the relationship between bodies and space, reflecting on how architecture influences emotions, behaviour, identities, and vice versa. Inspired by feminist and queer practices, I aim to open discussions around the inequalities that exist in space and space-making, offering alternate tools or methods. To do this, I often refer to fictional spaces and imaginary architectures built in the genres of science fiction and fantasy.
Between 2022-2024 I co-founded and ran the project space NOGOODS and the magazine bias with Danja Burchard and Francesca Scapinello. In 2023 I curated the artistic and design project Hosting Space at Hordaland Kunstsenter and in 2024 I was a writer in residence with Contemporary Art Stavanger, for whom I wrote the article series Building A Better World.
I am currently based in Oslo and enjoy swimming, doing crosswords and making furniture.
