The exhibition shows works from the last three years.

Thematically, I work with perception, and especially what I perceive when the attention is somewhere else and I do not really follow. I am concerned with unconscious processes and the contemplation of phenomena that are at the outer edge of the field of view and on the periphery of my attention.

In the exhibition, I deal with attention and the interplay between signals and structures, where adaptation and fine-tuning of materials describe my experience of the threshold between the unconsciously thought and sensibly acknowledged. The surfaces represent a point of intersection between substances where the contact surfaces are fixed in clay, pigmented powder coating or reflective chrome, and where the textures materialize an unfocused alertness that is volatile and in continuous change.

The work is related to investigations of altered states of consciousness and to physiological processes in the eyes and brain where the technical processes are taken from industrial production, and from techniques used in the production of components included in electronics and computers. By placing the material preconditions for technology in the context of the visual experience, the works try to express something about the fact that the physiological preconditions for consciousness are related to the forces involved in the control of technological devices.

The exhibition is produced with support from the Visual Artists' Remuneration Fund, the Department of Design at the University of Bergen and the Department of Product Design at OsloMet.
