Overview
The Berg krystal serie is a serie of freehand blown and sculpted glass works that has grown out from one of my other series Im-material. witch is also a series of freehand blown glass objects.
In this series Berg krystal, I work a lot with the contrast between the darker outside and the beautiful strong coloured inside.
the textures are reflecting on the visual expressions from the mountains and nature around Tromso. north of Norway, Where i grew up.
I have ben working on the ide of creating an abstracted version of some of the beauty that can be hidden in nature, the bright and colourful inside, a valuable gem stone or natural crystals that has developed inside a rather normal looking stone for thousands of years. and now is showing its beauty for the world as the object is burst open, revealing itself.
In my art work i try to use glass as a sculptural material, changing the surfaces and visual expressions of the materials outside. creating objects that are giving the impression of being other materials. but caring the liquid movements and qualities that hot glass have.
