«Her objects whisper dialogues and tales about place culture»
Cátia S. Marques
CURATOR
Hélène Arja is a Norwegian sculptoress and spatial artist currently rooted in Oslo. Educated within the handcrafts of sculptural work, she works with place cultures and creates installations, scenography and sculptural objects.
She specialized in fine art at high school, and sculptures and objects at university. She holds a 5 year (MA) in Design from The Oslo School of Architecture and Design, with a specialization in place-identities. Hélène also studied sociology at The Norwegian University of Science and Technology, and Research and storytelling (BA) from Media University College in Kristiansand.
A red thread to all her work is her dedicated attention to place-specific qualities.
