Bio
Ann Edvartsen Hay (b. 1991, Stavanger) is an artist based in Oslo, Norway.
Hay works interdisciplinary through a combination of photography, collage, printmaking, time-based media, drawing, metal and textile. Through her work she investigates anthropogenic impact of technological acceleration on nature through fieldwork, archival– and collected material. Her practice utilises symbolism as a language, weaving into a narrative between history and speculative futures.
