SCROLL
Welcome to my
ch a otic mind.
When I was in my mid-twenties, my mind and body broke down.
One month after beginning my MSc. in Neuroscience, I experienced neurological symptoms - and was eventually diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.
Art and creative expression has been a key part of my own healing (from the word "hælan," to make whole). I approach art as a space to engage with the chaotic experience of illness, and the wonder of creation.
My preferred medium is collage, where I use small, torn-out pieces of paper to build something new and whole. Through an intuitive and associative process, I engage with the themes of: fragmentation, sensory overwhelm, the dualities of living between health/illness, and the desire toward transformation.
Through these works, I invite you to experience the world as I do –
colorful, fragmented, abstract and interconnected. Intuitive, associative, sensory, and over-saturated with words and metaphors and obsessive details; unpractical and naïve, intimate, multi-layered and disorganized,
with winding sentences and a mix of materials
a space in-between coherence and chaos, with endless potential.
The story of my artwork is intertwined with both my story of illness and that stumbling path of adulthood.
