I try to come up with a single and well recognizable imagery that works in favor of the main theme. Apart from four years of Art academy, I now have twenty years of professional experience, which has been a constant search for new and improved forms of expression.

image-multiple-icon The cursed books (De utskjelte bøkene) In connection with their centenary in 2025, the Norwegian publishing house Gyldendal relaunches four classics in paperback, all of which were controversial in different ways when they were published. Rolf Stenersen's debut ”Godnatt da du” (1931) caused a stir with its taboo themes such as neuroses, madness and erotic fantasies. Individually, these releases have left an impression on the public. They have been reviled, criticized and debated. Although the controversy is nowhere near as conspicuous today as when they were published, these books have each contributed in their own way to the public debate about society's values.
