PROJECT STATEMENT

Nature is my cathedral. I cherish being in nature and loves the feeling of belonging and connecting to life cycles in nature.

I find forms, elements and places in nature, that intrigues me. What I find I see as precious gifts that I want to present, to elevate, to protect. Nature has created its own artpieces, for me to discover. It feels like a dialogue. In my response I want to highlight what I see, we are cooperating to form a new artpiece. It is also my offering back to nature.

I create site specific installations using fiber art. The threads I use are mostly wool, and preferably from sheep in the area I photograph. The methods I use are usually defined as female domestic art, like crochet, knitting, felting mm. I do this in honor of my female ancestors and the time and effort they spent on these handicrafts in their daily life, both as necessities and as decorations. So the time I use to make the installation is important in the project.

The installation is of ephemeral character, they are deconstructed after the phots are taken. The materials are sustainable for the environment and leave no marks in the nature. The art piece lasting will be the photography.
