Each painting is built through a sequence of decisions: adding, removing, compressing, exposing.
What remains is not an image — but a record of what the material has been through.

8 grafiske verk i storformat, grillfest i nydalen, god gass.
The exhibition will, after Oslo, travel and be shown in Reykjavik, Iceland
The exhibition/installation will consist of 8 large scale artworks (4 diptychs) made of printed digital collages, oil pastels, coloured epoxy, tees, printed concrete and original drawings. The aim is to incorporate these in a space that will function as a full scale installation, a spatial meeting between old and new.
