She is a professor of sculptural processes at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm and is represented by Belenius Gallery. Recent exhibitions include a solo presentation at Moderna Museet, Stockholm (SE) in relation the Sculpture Prize 2017, RIBOCA, Riga Biennial 1 (LV) 2018 and Graft the Words, Whip My Tongue att Accelerator (SE) 2020.
