Beauty Question of the month
My residency was first of all an exhibition of the series of prints I’m currently working on, but also an open studio where visitors had the chance to follow the process of the printing technique of trace monotype – a technique half way between drawing and printmaking.
Beauty Question of the month is a title taken out of a fashion magazine and my series of works is inpired by ads and their texts in fashion and beauty magazines. With humour and irony I look into and raise questions about beauty ideals and what women do to gain them.
Thinking of plastic surgery?
Every face tells a story, keep yours under control . You are still yourself, just more beautiful.

Really interesting stuff. Great Artiste. Keep it up
Hi Mette. Really like your work on beauty! Would you be interested in presenting for a project I have called RoadsignUSA.mobi in Houston, Texas? I like the graphic nature of your work and particularly the three images “Be Iconic, Be Intelligent, Be Natural”. Would enjoy seeing some of the smaller ones up top of the page, too. The message and images would be a great fit for our neighborhood of high income, and down the street from the famous Houston Medical Center. Another billboard up right now that is close (not art) is of a spiral of diamond rings. I could take some photos of the area and send you, too. The contrast would be contemplative, I think. Take a look at some of the past projects here and on this web site:
