Commissioned work

In 2015 I was commissioned to create art for Fagerli school in Larvik,
8 drawings where installed on a long wall in the large entrance hall of the school.

Art-Consultant: Grethe Hald.

The drawings are of to animals from different habitats, floating or flying in space, communicating in various ways.

Studio Toad performance and installation at Finse during Performance Art Camp 2016.
Working with land-art and performance in the public space create a juxtaposition to my more meditative drawings I make in the studio.

Since 2013 I have collaborated with Don Lawrence (Architect) in creating Land art, performance and site specific public art installations and proposals under the name of Studio Toad.  Thematically our work explore liminal space, time and place. We work with site specific, environmental and sculptural work and on commission.

Since 2016 I am involved in the project CoSA - Concerning the Spiritual in Art, which is a collaboration between LOCUS and LATERNA. Through performance, drawing, photography and text we will explore the spiritual in contemporary art
as well as the historical from about 100 years ago. This project will travel to Athens, Monte Verità, Hammerfest and Vadsø among others.
