LIVING BY THE SEA

My studio is based at the western coastline of Norway. The ocean, it’s coastal landscape and living by the sea, poses an endless catalogue of inspiration for my design projects and art shows.

I love experimenting with different techniques within weaving, weaving technology, and materials and believe the way they are all put together, creates just the right language and mood, that I capture outside, in nature.

I am a visual artist creating weavings that bring nature closer to you. My work acts like nature’s ambassador – dazzling with its beauty, striving to provide a free space for everyone – a mental space where a person can get a break. Just like in nature.
My home is the Stad peninsula, situated at the western-most point of the Norwegian coastline. Here the rough nature, stormy weather and fast changing light, creates a landscape of beauty. With sheep grazing freely, surfers enjoying the heavy sea and saltwater in the air, silence is to be found walking in the midst of a rich cultural heritage, among old viking tales, forming the essence of my woven fibre art and design works.

Slow Design Studio is a creative studio, working to counteract fast life and the disappearance of local traditions. Through a Slow approach to design and communication, I want to promote reflection and a more conscious approach to how the everyday choices you take has consequences, for yourself and others. Slow Design is not a pace, it is a mindset.
