The artist says of her work…
I work in graphics and the motifs in my prints are composed from private family photos and found images, cinematic material that I have staged and directed, or taken from private home video archives of 8 mm film and VHS. The scenes in my motifs are often set indoor in sparsely occupied homes, and ordinary but overwhelming public space that resonate with a sense of shivering inertia. My works revolve around a restless and ambivalent longing for a community, not knowing if you feel like being a part of it or not. I work with the paradoxical anatomy of intimacy, the suffocating security of the ordinary, and the fragile and beautiful foundation of everyday life.
I explore the concept of belonging by reconstructing ambiguous familiar spaces like the modern home or shared public spaces. Within these scenarios I investigate atmospheres of nostalgia and troubled memories, longing, repression and hope.
In my recent works, I investigate the idealization of certain spaces - like the perfected home, and the healing spa bath - as strivings for self-realization that at the same time can shape foundations for prisons of our own making. The home is supposed to be a private safe haven with shady oases of shelter, but it also encapsulates the hyper-civilized human body in an inorganic isolation of glass, metal and overexposed surfaces for others to see and admire. The spa reveals the self-optimizing human body in luxurious surroundings that both offer solace and the never-resting search for the ideal of harmony. I use collages and films as sketching as a way to deconstruct the familiar into a new form and challenge established mindsets and values. It is a way of questioning hierarchies and systems that encircle what is termed ‘the normal’, ‘the ideal’, and ‘the good life’.
