Works at the intersection of visual art, avant-garde and puppet theatre, dance, and sound installation. She is Artistic and Managing Director of HenBlakstad, founded in 2009, with work toured across Norway, China, Singapore, Denmark, and Taiwan.

Her practice is rooted in queer contemporary abstraction — a lesbian, feminist, and erotic expression that challenges norms of gender, identity, and representation. For Blakstad, abstraction is not a distance from reality, but a way of coming closer to what cannot be represented directly. A personal loss is a driving force in her work, where grief, catharsis, and transformation are explored as creative forces.
