2009

London September 23 - 27
London Design Week has been a every year event for me since 2003.
This year the fabulous Wallpaper* magazine is throwing the opening party for the show!
I will show the art piece Cotton Candy. Biting down in cotton candy always makes
me feel like something is disappearing and that I can't be present in the now.

in the presence of the designers and artists.

A sneak peak into the glamorous world of fashion! I designed and created the awards for Oslo Fashion Week on assignment form Pål Vasbotten.

The Royal Norwegian Embassy Residence in Vienna
A woman painting the perfect copy of Babels Tower by Dürer the elder.
A snapshot from when I visited the Kunsthistoriches Museum in Vienna.
I have been assigned with a large commission from The Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
Statsbygg and Koro, for the Embassy Residence in Vienna.
The Residence has been totally renovated by the Vienna based architect office
Berger + Parkinen.
The elegant building is classical Jügend style with a new hyper modern large room
for representation stretching its body into the garden. The walls are 14 meters long
and divided in 6 sections. The roof is made of copper, floors of cut stone and the walls
of wood and glass.
I am working on a piece called “Magnetic Fields”. Inspired by the attraction and
repulsion in a meeting between two people.
A great honor and challenge to work with such a room!
