Artist statement

- Åpent atelier lørdag 21.september 2024, kl 12-17 -

My work investigates themes of sexual identity, authenticity and popular cultural production. I explore evolvements of queer identity and draw on historical references and materials to critique twenty first century dominant histories as they are bound in normative sexual identities.
