This week I’m incredible grateful to have received two years of the Norwegian artist working grant 🤍
Thank you,
@kulturdir @statenskunstnerstipend 💌
I feel incredibly lucky, and deeply aware of the privilege of now being a Norwegian citizen, held by a system that chooses to support art like this.
When I got the news we were working until 3am, building our latest installation at
@fact_liverpool , pushing through: like so many artists, just trying to stay afloat, to pay rent, to keep going.
I’m in the middle of a big shift creatively and in life and these news couldn’t have come at a better time. To do a 360.. from being a timid classical violinist to becoming a not so timid interdisciplinary artist working with composing, theatre, opera, staging our works, making games, and now art??
Pinch me. I’m proud.
I am so grateful to receive the most important thing. Time. and the privilege to take risk.
At the same time, my heart is with everyone who hasn’t been as lucky this time. I have been there so many times, felt rejected and stuck. I can only urge you to keep going. Your work and your voice matters.
Life for the next years is dedicated to
@only.sliime . SO Excited for what we’re brewing, where we’re going and years of growth.
