My ongoing autobiographical work explores themes such as domesticity, motherhood and the everyday as well as the artistic practice. I like to explore the quotidian and use my intensely seeing eyes to nurture me through these years of fragmented focus and weariness and make parenting my subject matter rather than an obstacle to overcome. As an artist and a mother, I work towards making it possible to eat the cake and have it too; neither one of my roles should have to succumb to the other. The only way I can find balance between the two worlds, is to incorporate my image-making with my everyday life and make our family album public.
My work builds on the tradition of vernacular photography, lending it’s subject matter from artist’s like Sally Mann and Sian Davey amongst many others. The images speaks about the nordic way of life; the light summer nights, the dark months when light turns into something that is hard to grasp and the integrated relationship to nature and landscape, that these kids are born into.
