I’ve just seen “God bedring” (Get well soon!) at the Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology (NTM) in Oslo — a nice and pretty object-dense temporary exhibition about different aspects of 18th and 19th century Norwegian hospital life.

NTM commissioned her to do a work that could take any kind of used hospital material as her point of departure. Here’s a front view of the showcase with the resulting still life:
