Rigmor Nygaard

My work encompasses many methods, , including Printmaking, Painting, collage, drawing.
At present I am involved with making work which gives form to that which can otherwise by definition be described as almost invisible (The nominal metaphysical and spiritual).
My motifs include symbols, language/runic and spatiality.
My sources are often related to my Nordic heritage: a link with and to nature(the duality nature and human nature)- conciousness.
The creative art allows for a fundamental connection and ideas of the mystical. As an artist by traveling , I have gained greater personal insight with regards to my own cultural ancestry and my sense of the universal. As one travels there is often a sense of inner space, it his in part that which I wish to use as an origin for individual pieces.- My work moves between the symbolic/referral and abstraction. Through gesture and movements of color I can find equivalence ton experience, which creates visual fields of energy rather than images. The world is in a state of continual motion, as too are we. Making art is a way of creating a moment of suspension; one, which can be contemplated. The work that I produce I conceive of as an archive, or trace in time and space
