Drawing from varied sources of inspiration (supernovas, human behavioural patterns and black holes, to name just a few) Shoplifter's practice defies summarisation - which is just how she likes it. "I don't see the need for art, fashion, design and craft to be separated completely - I like that there can be grey areas" she says. She primarily creates sculptures, installations and performances, and often collaborates on fashion and design projects. These include working with Björk on the creation of her Medúlla album cover, designing custom wallpaper for Nike, and teaming up with various designers to create one-off fashion garments.
