I am an interior architect and artist interested in the relationship between bodies and space. Through my work I am committed to challenging the inequalities that exist in space and spatial practices. My practice spans curation, publishing, writing, and design. Current areas of research include situated writing methods, queer and feminist spatial practices, the relationship between emotion, identity and space, and rethinking architecture through speculative fiction.
In 2022 I co-founded the project space NOGOODS and the magazine bias with Danja Burchard, now co-run with Francesca Scapinello. Recent curatorial and design projects include Hosting Space (June–August 2023) at Hordaland Kunstsenter in Bergen and Dissident Publics (May–June 2023) with NOGOODS and Exutoire at ROM in Oslo.
I am currently based in Bergen and enjoy swimming, feminist science fiction and making furniture.
