About me

 

I live in Skollenborg near Kongsberg and have made ceramic sculptures for 25 years.

​

IMy workshop was in Skotselv for 16 years, sponsored by Øvre Eiker kommune, but I have now moved it closer to home, in Kløvstadhagen, Skollenborg.

 

 I was educated within sculpture and ceramics at Telemark University College, campus Notodden by 1.emanuensis Vegar Fuske Hansen and sculptor Trond Fredrikesen.​

Artist statement

 

My sculptures represent basic elements of my life. Tradition and history, humor, the constant changes in life and different forms of human musicality and movement.

 

The surfaces of my sculptures beget marks, grooves, lines and cracks. This gives a feeling of ageing and weathering and creates an association to wrinkles and scars. This reinforces the impression of lived life and creates a profound personality.

 

In the sculpture series Strong Women, I want to give voice to the beauty of aging. I use my art as a counterweight to the massive and false advertisements that pays homage to the smooth, flawless, unused and often boring beauty. It is a distortion of reality and damaging in many ways.

 

My hommage goes to the life visably lived.
