I am a Swedish multi-disciplinary artist whose practice includes, but is not limited to, fiber art, sculpture, relief objects, video, and installation. I often work with themes connected to language, gender, and the embodiment of space in different contexts. I especially enjoy working with materials and techniques not normally associated with art, such as wall filler and cross-stitch embroidery.
My artistic practice is at its core rooted in narratives and the way we understand them. By inserting myself and my body into different situations, I seek a direct experience of what I am investigating. In dealing with narratives it is important to look closely at the contexts in which they are created. To be in charge of a story is to be in a place of power. By creating alternative storylines I take this power into my own hands.
