Øgaard’s practice is situated at the intersection of painting and sculpture.
Working with relief-based surfaces, in which materiality, light, and spatial perception are fundamental elements.
The works develop through slow, layered processes in which pigment, sand, plaster, and cement are built up into surfaces
that both absorb and reflect light.
The practice investigates how minimal shifts in form and structure can generate subtle yet significant changes in the viewer’s experience.
The works are activated through their relationship to the space and change character depending on lighting conditions and the viewer’s movement.
The Painting will be approached as a physical object and a spatial phenomenon rather than an illusory image.
The process is intuitive, yet grounded in a sustained exploration of balance, weight, and stillness.
The works do not pursue narrative, but instead invite an experience in which time, presence, and materiality are central.
Through this practice, Øgaard examines how painting can extend beyond its traditional boundaries and function as an experience rather than representation.
Although the work has sculptural, dimensional qualities, she do not approach them as sculptures.
Despite the use of unconventional materials such as cement and plaster, Øgaard considers her works paintings and identifies herself as a painter.
