Born in Norway, working in UK.
Oh god this is where I have to write a statement about myself and about my work. Try to solidify some things that lives in a constant flux, pinpoint it, pin it down, stick a needle through it like a little bug. OR Or Or… or… I can write about how great and awesome I am and gosh look at how smart and pretentious I can be. Exaltations to me. Wow, I’m great, yeah cool. Or I could write about what I have done but does that even matter. How do I even choose what the important bits are? Like I sat in a loo once and all of a sudden, I was isolated and flying through space, the only known consciousness alive, but sitting on the loo doesn’t seem that important. Felt like a moment though. But who give a hoot about that? People don’t want to come to this site to read about that weird time I sat on the loo in a bar in Croydon over a decade ago. Or do you? Maybe I should write about that time on the loo? Maybe this writing thing ain’t such a bad thing, because god do I hate writing, but this doesn’t feel that bad. Maybe I’ll give up the weird art thing and just write this type of stuff all day long. Hang up those overalls swap it for an equally cringeworthy typewriter. I’ll have to write in a coffee shop though. There ain’t no point in being a writer if no one sees you writing. Oh, shit I forgot I was writing a statement. About myself, about my art. Ah jeez I don’t want to. I don’t even know what to say. If I knew what to say I would say it wouldn’t I? I wouldn’t have to make stupid art if I was able to communicate? I can’t communicate, god I can barely even spell. You’re lucky this is autocorrected. You’d have now chance if tech didn’t pick up after me. I’m a mess. A mess that can’t communicate. Make art instead. Its fun. Sometimes. Sometimes it just down right sucks, and it hurts and wow it can really just suck. But it’s fun too, I guess. Too bad for me. I love art. Hate communicating though. Desperate need to though. Gosh so desperate. But I don’t have any words for the things I want to say.
