CERAMICS
CERAMICS
I am intrigued by different materials and the resistance they produce.
I'm also interested in exploring the intersection of the societal and the subjective through multi-material installations. In my works, my main materials are often body and video, but I also combine materials in a more diverse manner. My installations have consisted of, among other things, video and glass, as well as sound and furniture. Bodily experiences and other bodily questions are often present in my work.
