GITTORM II - takamines metamorphosis

NOK 7,400.00

Music has been a big part of my life and I made my first music sculpture when I was a student. It was a hand shaped in C-septim over a Morgan guitar that I named the "Jesus grip". It was inspired by my childhood three-part song at the Maranata meetings of my friend and my mother's enthusiasm for Aage Samuelsen. In 2017, I borrowed | The Takamine guitar by Vidar Rogstad to have as a template and has since made guitar reliefs with different designs. I chose Takamine because it is Bruce Springsteen's favorite guitar and because I have fond memories of being taken to concerts by an old boyfriend who is his blood fan.
Here I take the guitar form a step further and let it turn into a musical reptile.
«When a skilled and emotionally raw, brave guitarist dares to indulge in music, dares to surrender, to put his feelings naked in the strings .. in the magical moment the guitar can come alive .. it can change .. transform .. go back to the beginning .. past steel and wood .. merge with the original reptiles .. come crawling out of the water .. »HF
