Drawing holds a central position in Hanne Væringsaasen’s practice — not only as a traditional medium in graphite, charcoal, pastel, and ink, but as a field for pushing boundaries. Series such as The Revolt of Form reveal her experimental approach, where emotional resonance meets conceptual depth. By combining two-dimensional drawing with three-dimensional paper forms, she challenges the line between surface and structure, opening new possibilities for what drawing can be.

“Mapping the Unseen” traces the edge between the visible and the invisible.
With delicate pencil lines and shifting forms, the series seeks to hold what constantly slips away — a visual map of what hovers just beyond our grasp.
“The Revolt of Form” pushes drawing beyond the flat surface.
Pencil and charcoal meet folded, crumpled paper, where motifs seem to wrestle with — or dissolve into — the medium itself.
Here, form resists, transforms, and speaks of both fragility and resilience.
“Tsamáda Munji” — you whisper to me — carries the quiet voice of Lule Sámi heritage.
It is the wind against my cheek, the murmur of ancestors across time — a presence that grounds my work in inherited memory while guiding its creative path forward.
Pencil and ink studies — fleeting moments on paper, where intuition meets observation.
These sketches are the quiet foundations from which larger works grow.
Projects Expanding the Drawing Format pushes drawing beyond the page, into space. Lines become structures, objects, and environments — often in dialogue with other media such as mixed media and film — inviting new ways to see and experience the act of drawing.
