Conversation with nature

Nature is my cathedral. I cherish being in nature and love the feeling of belonging and connecting to the life cycles in nature. I find forms, elements and places in nature, that intrigue me. What I find I see as precious gifts that I want to present, to elevate, to protect. Nature has created its own art, for me to discover. It feels like a dialogue. In my response I want to highlight what I see and feel in nature. These photographs are my offering back to nature. I create site specific installations using fiber art. The threads I use are mostly wool, and preferably from sheep in the area I photograph. The methods I use are usually defined as female domestic art, like crochet, knitting, felting mm. I do this in honor of my female ancestors and the time and effort they spent on these handicrafts in their daily life, both as necessities and as decorations. The time I use to make the installation is important in these projects. The installations are of ephemeral character, they are deconstructed after the photographs are taken. The materials are sustainable for the environment. My photographs of the art pieces I make are the final art works.
