Delving into the landscape, exploring its connection with the sublime, the void and infinity. She is captivated by endless spaces and the subtle suggestion of form on the edge of existence. Through her etchings, she investigates tone, movement, and light to invoke these ethereal qualities. Her artistic practice is deeply influenced by travels to awe-inspiring landscapes in Norway, Finland, Iceland and Scotland. These locations, with their vast, untamed wildernesses, offer a profound sense of scale and atmosphere that resonates with her vision. Each etching captures the essence of these places, distilling their elemental beauty and raw power into a visual language of the infinite. She extracts elements from the landscape, focusing on light and shadow, the suggestion of movement, and the delicate balance of forms present and absent. This approach creates images grounded in reality yet suspended in a dreamlike state, inviting viewers to contemplate the boundless nature of existence. Each print becomes a testament to creation and erosion, presence and absence. Engaging in a vocabulary of the sublime, awe, wonder and momentary fear, her prints aim to engulf the viewer in a sensory, intimate experience. This form of escapism addresses the vastness of space and our limitations within it.
