The first solo exhibition in the UK by this graduate from The Royal Danish Art Academy. Her paintings and drawings present a stateless world of in-between’s, a feminine Never Land located between reality and fiction, animal and human, and in instances, between puberty and adulthood. More often than not a female protagonist is located within a fantastical landscape which can include oversized animals, morphed nonhuman silhouettes and unrecognizable flowers and foliage. These are places that suggest a magical refuge but which occasionally hint at the absurd world of fairy tales; ambiguity reigns and any number of readings are possible.
