Live visuals
As a visual artist I create living drawings in interaction with sound and movement. Through improvised digital painting, I explore the connection between what we hear, what we see and what we feel.
In theatre, most recently with Nordic Black Theater, the process is more composed and collaborative: I work with the director on structure and timing, then perform the drawings in sync with the performance.

Fleeing Home
‘Fleeing Home’ is a recreation of a series of drawings made by a little girl in a refugee camp in Greece. I visited this camp in 2016 and I sat down with families to listen to their stories, in hopes of understanding how we, as communities, could help tackle the refugee crisis.
Listening to the journey she was put through at such a young age, and seeing her reflections visualised on a torn wall made me realise how fragile the term ‘home’ really is.
Years later, when I am reflecting on what kind of artwork represents home for me, I find the answer in her drawings.
‘Fleeing Home’ was shown at Tate Britain as part of the Life Between Islands exhibition over the course of 3 days. This was part of a competition to celebrate the opening of the still ongoing Life Between Islands exhibition, responding to the theme of ‘home’.
