Floor: Undre etasje, Master rom, metallavdelning
The studio is open Saturday 26 April from 12-17
I am a master’s student in arts and crafts, department metal, at KHIO. I work with metal, stone, paper and wire. I love thread of all kinds! In my artistic practice I am interested in the small things, what is small and difficult to see with the naked eye. Almost invisible. Plankton, single-celled animals, seeds, molecules, cells, memories, thoughts. It can also be children, or feeling small. To be small and alone or to be small and part of something larger. Contrasts and combinations are also important in my work, as well as identities and man’s relationship to nature and other beings and worlds.
