I am a Norwegian multidisciplinary artist based in Manchester, UK. Born in Hammerfest, at the edge of the world where the Barents Sea meets the Arctic sky, I carry the stark contrasts of polar light and darkness into my work, using them as both metaphor and methodology. After formative years in Oslo, I trained as a glass blower in Sweden’s Crystal Kingdom, learning to bend light itself before relocating to the UK, where my practice has continuously evolved across media and theoretical frameworks.

For over a decade (2007–2020), my socially engaged practice transformed Alexandra Park in Manchester, reaching thousands through the Pankhurst in the Park program and founding the Alexandra Arts collective. This long-term intervention reimagined public space as a living canvas for artistic exploration and social transformation, echoing an ancestral relationship to place and the natural world.

From this work emerged the Art as Activism Toolkit, originally designed to equip young people with creative resistance strategies. Now, under the Peace Movement Remix, it has become a deeper confrontation with the mechanics of systemic control and the radical power of self-liberation. At its foundation is the concept of Conscious Sculpture, an approach that uses art to shift collective consciousness in ways that resonate with traditions of interconnectedness.

During the pandemic, I began Lux Medicina, an exploration of light and darkness as forces of healing. This inward journey continues to shape an expanding body of work that interrogates power, language, and transformation. I am currently developing a text-based series featuring works such as Unite & Conquer, Hopeium, and Powerful Beyond Belief. Each piece probes the liminal spaces where personal and public transformation converge.

More recently, I have started to trace connections to my Arctic heritage, including my Sámi roots. This remains an open inquiry, but I recognise how themes of survival, spirituality, and interconnectedness may have been quietly shaping my practice all along.

My work resists containment by medium or market, existing instead as a continuous dialogue between perception and reality, the seen and unseen, the personal and the collective.
