Reconstructions / Reassembly
Immanuel Kant argued that all knowledge must be based on sensation and experience, but that our sensory apparatus will always interfere with or distort the signals we receive. Therefore, we can never know for sure anything about reality, only how it appears to us.
The project takes its starting point in an abrupt landscape where history has been lost. A landscape where only fragments of a past world exist, without explanations, instructions or descriptions. History can only be recreated through the reassembly of the fragments that exist.

THE SCHOLARSHIP EXHIBITION 2022
Jury statement: The sculpture resembles a brain in its shape and color. It functions in various ways as a metaphor for human creativity. Take something and transform it into something else. The work consists of plastic spectacle lenses that have been sewn together with convincing craftsmanship. In addition to the work's formal qualities, it focuses on overproduction, sustainability and our need to think differently about the materials we use and surround ourselves with. In addition to associations with the human brain, the work gains relevance by resembling one of the ocean's many abstract organisms in terms of form and focuses on plastic and microplastics that are found in the ocean and that eventually become part of humans' own cycle.

Necessary efforts
We construct culture according to the natural conditions we have always been given to live under. When it comes to survival, we have become so disconnected from nature that we have the energy to invent an endless amount of cultural constructions that are largely about the me, an over-focus on the individual as opposed to the group/tribe. The alienated human.
An investigation into the emotional and physical chaos between natural and technological biology and, not least, cultural influence.

A project that investigates how light and weather affect the colors at a specific point in the world - a sheep pasture. The colors that the morning and evening light impart to the elements, earth, air and water, are distilled into three color fields for each reading point.
The work has been compiled into two color almanacs, one for morning light and one for evening light. The work has been ongoing from the end of April until the sheep are moved to open-field pastures at the end of June, and the colors of the sky, sea and grass have been read at 08:00 and 22:00 each day.
The small images are painted with acrylic on randomly selected pieces of sheepskin, creating a pattern on the back of the work. The skin is sewn together by hand.
Also full utilization of sheepskin which is Fur style left over from my teddybear production in Bjørnefabrikken (Norway's smalles bearfactory) www.bjornefabrikken.no
