“Often my works and texts in some form or other, are based on an existing story or imagery; the references range from popular culture to mythology and folktales. I use these stories to imaginatively catapult myself and the viewer into spaces that we have not previously been able to access. I learn from, and I am inspired by the forgotten Greek goddess Baubo; Stephen King’s protagonist Carrie White or the stories of astrological constellations. Two-dimensional painting is my starting point even as I explore the possibilities and limitations of other materials and mediums. In site-specific installations, I place texts, objects, textiles and sound in relation to each other in order to approach a theme from multiple perspectives. Beside my visual practice I write poems and lyrics and perform them in the electronic duo MATKA and M.O.G. (the Mothers of God).” (Text by courtesy of Ulrika Segerberg)
