Hi there!
I'm an interdisciplinary artist and filmmaker based in Norway. I work with the “grotesque” and “monstrous”—not as something alien or to be feared, but as a familiar and reclaiming position; a way to transform pain, anger, and otherness into something meaningful. I work with the monster as both mirror and strategy—a method for understanding, processing, and reinterpreting dehumanization, violence, and structural inequality. The monsters in my work are people who, in various ways, have been pushed outside the “normal” frameworks of society— being queer, living with mental and physical illness, survivors of sexual violence, and so on (and on, and on……). My practice spans several media: video, textiles, drawing, painting, and writing. The works are shaped by my own lived perspectives and informed by queer and disability theory, narratives of outsider identities, and aesthetics inspired by gore, mythology, traditional craft, and elements of nature. The monstrous is not just an aesthetic—it is politics, poetry, feeling, and philosophy. It is a way of insisting on dignity and complexity. A way of saying: We exist. We feel. We deserve lives of safety and dignity—even when we fall outside the lines.
