Portal — Between the legs, backwards and upside down
2019
​
“Portal” is a colourful assemblage of conjoined body parts. The widespread legs form a carnal portal and the act is “the wrong way around” – a symbol of the reversal of the traditional order. The pose is erotic and active, while plaster and paper is timeless, hard, dead materials, far from carnal.

The Doll - a fine stripe of hair
2019
​
This doll has the attribute of a stuffed animal, with fur covering most of the body. It sits in a backward position, on a bare, cold and slightly withered round of concrete. Concrete which has attributes associated with concepts such as immobility and solidification and has a texture that seems to reject human touch.
Dead/Asleep - Fading Fleshy Forest
2016
Collaboration with Morgan E. Russell
This installation represents a dying stage of the two artists collaborative practice. Broken sculptures and withered artworks from previous exhibitions lie surrounding newer pieces, pointing to a limbo where the merged practice must die or evolve.
One is not Born, but rather Becomes
2016
Joint exhibition with Rebecca Lindsmyr
​
Simone de Beauvoir once expressed that one is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.
Through the title we have excluded the word woman, to expand the concept and also to highlight its possible limitations regarding a likewise fluctuating physical body.

The Devil is in the Details
2016
​
Consist of a found toy animal made of wood which is redesigned with a grinder and a dough-like pinkish paste to form an atypical genitalia. Standing up-side-down and watching itself in the mirror, while the mirror revealing its private parts before the viewer.
​
The titel refers to how we tend to pay too much attention to the details which really should not matter.
