Sunday, May 31st, 2009I am taking some time off this weekend, as we have a lot of visitors, family and friends gathering. So I´ll show you some of the things I made last year. Last January I went to Jaipur, India on a workshop. In Selvedge I found an interesting opportunity.  Jaipur Heritage Foundation hosted seven different workshops, and […]

Friday, May 29th, 2009Altered ancestor
Friday, May 29th, 2009This is an un-finished booklet I started to make at Artfest in Lynne Perella´s class. The plan is to keep adding details and color. Since Inspire me Thursdays theme this week is “Altered ancestors” I thought it would be a good opportunity to share this with you. It is about my grand-uncle Andy, and his […]
1389 WavES
Thursday, May 28th, 2009Here is a peak of what I´ve been up to all week. 1389 WavES for Skandi Olympia These are a mix of paper, silk, metal-mesh and so-called found objects (but in truth, most of them are bought…) painting, printing, oxydizing, sowing, it´s all in there. Hope I haven´t over-done it mixing all this stuff. Even […]

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009After all the sowing, it feels good to get my hands dirty again! The past days have been very productive, today I tried the metal-mesh again!

IF-Cracked
Monday, May 25th, 2009For this weeks theme I was inspired by the lyrics of a Blondie-song. The photos are partly old containers, and an old ships figurehead. Also I added a dictionary explanation of the word Phrenology, the science of the special functions of different parts of the brain. Faces cracked for reason beyond recognition His space is […]
Art & such in Oslo
Monday, May 25th, 2009Saturday I celebrated Kjerstin´s and Tor´s wedding in Oslo. They both looked smashing. Unfortunetly I don´t have good photos of them yet, it was so dark in there. But Kjerstin has promised me some cool pictures soon. Below is a picture from one of the artists I came across in a small gallery: Jannik Abel. […]
Miss Saigon and the ricefields
Friday, May 22nd, 2009This weekend is the second rehearsal-weekend for the ensemble of Miss Saigon. So the day has pretty much been a meeting day for me, finalizing the costume-designs with the director and the head of the makers. It´s going to be such an event, with so many talented people both on and behind the stage. It […]
Kjerstins lovebirds
Wednesday, May 20th, 2009Last night I finished Kjerstins wedding-dress. She came over from Oslo for the final fitting. And fitting is the word. The dress is actually sculpted on her, piece by piece. She must of tried it on a dozen times, while I each time added more pins to get everything in the right place. And slowly […]
