She is currently based in Copenhagen. Her work is centered in and around sculpture and based in a large confidence in intuitive processes. With an emphasis on embodying memory the materials are often taken through a succession of activities pushing them close to destruction. The works are conditioned by exploration and improvisation and by an intimate and sensitive relation to materials. Previous exhibitions and other activities include: Worn through rain, but fuck concrete.
