Siri Pettersen

Siri was born in 1971, under the northern lights of Norway, with a severely overactive imagination. It survived countless attacks from the outside world, rendering her an expert escapist, frolicking in a wide range of media: Design, web, comics, illustration, animation and text. Anything for a good story. In 2002 she won a national comic contest with "Anticlimax", the comic strip that made her "Newcomer of the year" in the Norwegian Sproing Awards. Siri has worked as an Art Director for many years, but she is now writing full time, devoted to her fantastical worlds.

Total dissonans mellan reklamkampanjernas vackra ord och denna auktoritära, desillusionerade Sveriges tredje största myndighet. Efter inlåsning promenerar jag till hållplatsen, men mina tankar är kvar på anstalten. Det jag tänker är att verksamheten går helt emot myndighet
