Lasercutting Textiles!

Last week I got together with a bunch of ladies at the kunsthogskolen here in Bergen and we collaborated with CITA from the Royal Art Academy in Copenhagen to make some seriously lovely curtainsculptures.

Novemebrrrr House

I made this little birdhouse thing.

It's made from the box that a sixer of spraycans come in.

I was thinking we can have it on the table at the zinefair.

Just to clutter the table a little bit.

Also I was thinking I want to throw some paint on it.

Maybe practice freehand. Get really good. Do it miniature.

Buenos Aires is pretty much junk heaven. I like to think of this sculpture of a nice summery of my time here. I put it together with only wire and wax.

HeartWorm vs HeartRoach

The last cube deals with one of those mysteries that nobody seems to be able to figure out. The achy, breaky heart. I imagined there being a larva in your heart and it grows and develops slowly as you fall in love and get your heart broken over and over again. I mean there is no single meaning to life, so life is just a process like the metamorphosis of this weird heart bug, the germination of that idea or the hatchling guy. So, there you go (Toby).

The Love/Pain Cube

The Metamorphosis

An idea sprouts

Cube the second. This is how I imagine an idea springing forth in the brain. The brain is so complex, the idea travels through your mind on a discombobulated path, turning around memories, positive and negative experiences, fueling on all of them to create the conclusive idea, which is only formulated once it has been released out of your mind (usually through your mouth or some action), or in this case a lotus.

The Process

The Chicken & the Egg

Lately I have gotten really really obsessed with the passage of time, and been preoccupied with a lot of stupid deep questions, which probably means I have been spending way too much time in my head. So I decided to do 3 cube paintings, showing an idea progressing, transformation of emotions and flow of time and space . It started out being my take on some of the main human forces in life or something. Anyways, Toby , you've kinda been kicking my ass on the blog ( you hobo), so I decided to post one of these cubes ASAP. They've been taking forever, painting and drying all 6 sides, but I really got stuck on the whole 3D thing.
So, Check it:

The cube that finally answers the eternal question of that chick and the egg

The Progression

Powder Pillow

There hasn´t been all that much snowfall these parts yet. Today I looked under Baka´s (Grandma) Pillow and I found a WHOLE SKI HILL. Powder up to your knees, untracked, a glade run, not that crowded at all. I took a run (first one of the season), but I am so out of shape that I was done for the day, and I just parked myself in the bar at the base. This place has been my own personal paradise, but it´s been kinda boring riding pow at this small undiscovered place all by my onesies. So I am inviting you all to come ride with me. Unfortunately there is no ski lift either, or a park for that matter, but it´s so close to home that I can´t really complain.
