August 2024, completion of the art project "Timecell" for the Egge School in Lier/Norway. Art in public space with a concept for the integration of students in the outdoor and indoor spaces.

After six weeks of working together with eight international sculptors, the 21st International Larvikite Sculpture Symposium Norge ended on August 10th, 2024 with a public exhibition of the sculptures on the Sculpture Park Stalaker, Larvik/Tjodalyng.

A temporary symposium project in collaboration with the stone industry of Lundhs AS and Kunstfelt Stalaker.

"Timecell" is a collaborative work with the sculptor M.Kuhn and an art project for the Egge School which is based on a commission from the Lier municipality to carry out an art project with the students. To learn, reflect and actively participate. "Timecell" refers to the 100th anniversary of the school and the idea of making this historic time visible locally and internationally. The topic of "Timecell" with regard to the future is documented and demands attention by a large stone plate in the floor of the entrance area. Another sculpture project that refers to the past and actively involves children will follow in the outdoor area in June 2024.

The Symposium Norge is a non-commercial event that takes place every two years in a Larvikitt quarry from Lundhs AS in the south of Norway. The symposium is sponsored by the stone industry and carried out by Kunstelt Stålaker. This year we are once again looking for international sculptors who would like to create sculptures with the Norwegian Larvikite for a period of six weeks in summer.

Commission from Lier Municipality awarded through an art competition for public spaces/ collaborative work with the sculptor M.Kuhn

This project actively involves the students of the Egge School in the art process. The "Timecell" idea is based on the school's 100th birthday, as well as the fact that the school is located on a terminal moraine and thus creates an imaginary connection to the Ice Age. The theme of time and stone is the theme of the art project, which cuts up a moraine stone and asks the students to find symbols from the last 100 years in class, which can be linked to the history of the school. The symbols tell stories and create memories and encourage reflection. We artists prepare the Larvikite stone and bring the selection of symbols onto the stone surfaces using sandblasting technology. Placed in the school grounds, the sculptures invite to discover, climb and think.

Since 1985, international stone sculptors have been invited every two years to the quarry of Tjodalyng/Larvik in southern Norway, to work sculptural with the local blue-crystalline Larvikite. 

The artist comes to the stone and encounters industry, nature and new artistic challenges. After a 3-year break, the Symposium Norge invited nine international sculptors in July 2022 to the 20th International Larvikite Sculpture Symposium Norge in cooperation with the stone industry of Lundhs AS and the Kunstfelt Stålaker.

Joint exhibition with members of the Vestfolds Art Association.

Invitation from Sør-Odal Municipality, Norway to present ideas for the new train station area in Skarnes/ collaborative work with the sculptor M.Kuhn. Development of the sculpture project "Metamorfose" for the outside area of the train station and as a place marker for the surrounding park. The topic was recognition, succinctness and the connection of historical features of the station in the transformation to the present. Joint art project.

This order includes the integration of the entrance area of the new building into an artistic statement and the creation of an identity and invitation to linger. Flowing water connects, is heard and connects the element of stone. The blue-crystalline Larvikite is Norway's national stone and was quarried and processed from a quarry just a few kilometers away.

The exhibition was a collaborative project between 5 architectural offices and 4 artists; who worked with wood, stone, film and graphics. 
The exhibition rooms in the Oslo district "Kvadratur" invited visitors to engage with and experience the old district in the area. My contribution was a printed representation of my photographic experiences on a day tour through the houses and streets in the area. In keeping with literary models, it was about experiencing the different levels of a daily routine. The contrasts between the old, historic Oslo and today's modern, consumer-oriented district were fascinating.

Group exhibition. Artistic impressions on the subject of "books" using stone and printing techniques in one communication. What can be seen when a stone book is opened. Which geological templates can be represented in print? Print graphics on the subject of “ExLibris” interpreted from the stone.
