about me
|
My artistic starting points are : idea, shape, material and colour. Clay is the material that I use mostly. By modelling I aim at sensitive forms. Often my subject is a human figure and I feel that there are enough ideas for the rest of my life. When the clay shape is ready, I transform it to a harder and better lasting material. By using moulds I cast them in bronze, aluminium or concret Periodically I also do oil colour paintings. My works have been shown in exhibitions mainly in Bergen, Oslo and Helsinki.
