Trained in drawing and printmaking during her art studies in the -80ies, Marhaug has used her basic skills in her later image production. One major relation has been the relation between drawing, photo and printmaking.

ARTIST RESIDENCY AT GEDOK
Three weeks stay in GEDOK, Stuttgart including one week of intensive work at the printmaking workshops in Künstlerhaus Stuttgart, together with Traci Kelly, Julia Wenz and Kjellaug Hatlen Lunde. Simple and complicated experiments with and without ink, with and without printing press, -with small and big surprises!
My own project has been given the heading PALIMPSEST; from Wikipedia:
In textual studies, a palimpsest (/ ˈpælɪmpsɛst /) is a manuscript page, either from a scroll or a book, from which the text has been scraped or washed off so that the page can be reused for another document. [1] Parchment was made of lamb, calf, or goat kid skin and was expensive and not readily available, so in the interest of economy a page was often re-used by scraping off the previous writing.
