ELISE STORSVEEN

03.02.23-14.05.23

Elise Storsveen (b. 1969) works with various techniques and expressions, with an emphasis on collage, textiles, painting, installation and sculpture. For the exhibition in the Vigeland Museum Storsveen has created three textile works, which together give form to the title Heat Waves. At first, the word might lead us to think of climate change, but in this context, it is about climate on a micro level, more specifically menopause. It is her own physical experiences that is central to the works in the exhibition.
