Artist statement

Gurdish Haugsdal also known as Dish is a multidisciplinary artist from London, now living and working in Bergen.
Her striking work and strong style has been described as feminine yet juxtaposed with distinctively dark lines and tones.

Her projects vary widely in discipline and scale, from miniature hand-painted intricate illustrations upon ceramic plates to painting large-scale images directly onto the glass windows, interior walls and outside on public facades. Her work often depicts women from a feminist perspective.
