i should probably get someone else to write about my work in fancy international art english but i think that's boring. i consider myself an autodidact. i enjoy learning. i enjoy painting intuitively. i've played in bands, alot of them terrible and none that you've heard of. i've got music out on spotify. i usually build my own canvas stretchers, partly for the economic aspects and partly because i enjoy physical work. i don't like the idea of my paintings having inherent meaning, but i'm not really opposed to it either. most of them are based on situations i've been in or computer games i played when i was younger, but through a sort of hazy memory filter or VHS tape or something.  i want them all to be sort of self-contained idea islands.  i consider them cathartic and sloppy yet tasteful exercises in restraint in the twomblian sense. i think jonathan meese's views on being an artist are great. i'm fascinated by pointlessness, entropy and stoicism. i'm really into history, the materiality of an object, the intersection of analog and digital. some of them are about really smart things and some are about absolutely dumb things. i paint because it's a comfortable way for me to contextualize the world. there's a lot of pure info overload in the modern human condition, so a bunch of that is in there too. i've got work in a few good collections but i'm not represented by a gallery. once i saw two seagulls crash mid-air for apparently no reason. i recently turned thirty. i grew up in a tiny town in a fjord in the middle of nowhere in western norway and it was boring but beautiful. i like rune stones and end-user license agreements because they're separate genres of reductive information, and i like that statement because it barely makes sense. mistakes are great. i make my own charcoal. i have some work for sale. here's a link to my instagram.
