The Conference of the Birds
Really excited that my project co-curated with Heli Aaltonen has received Oppstart funding from Nordic Culture Point!

Wonder Cabinet in Sortland
Really happy to be chosen as the artist for the project Nå-Da, initiated and organised by the wonderful and enthusiastic bunch of people at Sortland Artsociety. They have selected the old, and now listed, cinema in the old Town Hall in the centre of town as the venue for the project. An amazing building from the early 50-ies that [...]
Mosaic in the making
I have collected broken cups, mugs and plates for 18 years and always had it in mind that I one day would do a mosaic wall with the bits. That horrible feeling of breaking your favourite mug but then the joy of adding it to your artwork! Together with all the treasures found on beaches […]

Taste of the stars
Taste of the stars in the barn loft during the magic, blue hour today. A tea-ceremony artistically and aesthetically delivered by our Artist in Residence Kristin Holand after a weeks work in our new guest studio. Atmospheric and tasty both for the body and the soul!

Gjesteskribent Irene Nygårdsvik
Veldig flott å ha forsker og siviløkonom Irene Nygårdsvik her på residency i skrivestuen, der hun jobbet med sin nye bok. I ettermiddag holder hun foredrag på KS sin høstkonferanse i Bodø om “Verdighetens økonomi – skaperkraft som økonomiens livsnerve”. Håper hun inspirerer mange kommune byråkrater til å løfte blikket og tenke sidelengs!
