is educated at Westerdals Oslo School of Arts and Communication in Oslo, and from 2019-2022 has participated in 17 individual and collective exhibitions. Borchgrevink's acclaimed photographs of man-made nature are documentary and abstract. The photographs of 300 million-year-old granite formations found deep in Norwegian quarries were nominated for Vestfold and Telemark county's Culture Award 2022, Cyan Folio by Høvikodden and Fotogalleriet 2019, and presented at Nordic Light. The Steinbrudd series sheds light on our history with a visually updated expression and gives the public a new awareness of art and cultural history. In 2022, Borchgrevink participated in Ovasjon, a development program for artists under the auspices of the Norwegian Culture Council, and is a member of the Norwegian Journalist Association NJ, NSFF, TKK, BONO
In 2023, the photo book "Brudd, The Beauty of Stoned Core Material" was presented at Fotobok festival Oslo under the auspices of Galleri CYAN. The photo book is in the library collections; Prussian Museum, the National Museum and Deichman Bjørvika. Borchgrevink photographs people and nature, the main focus in recent years is landscapes in the Anthropocene epoch at home and abroad. She has received feedback from a wide audience that the images have a distinctive style that is innovative and beautiful. The photographs are purchased by both public companies and private homes.
"The photographs are the result of years of walking in landscapes and quarries at home and abroad. Light changes character depending on the time of day and season in the face of nature, stone and water. I never know what awaits me when I return to a crime scene. Is the spectacular scene still there or has it been cut away by steel wires, have we moved even further back in time so that the images have become unique? It is exciting to work at the intersection of abstraction/symbol interpretation. When does the abstract become meaningful? When does a language arise that the spectator can make up his mind about? I am excited about materiality and sensation, how much a surface can withstand - and silence."
