I always prefer honest, natural materials. No wonder rocks that are 200-300 million years old resonate. I explore different types of rocks that are special to where I live and work. What was rough blasted stone with sharp edges now has a soft, tactile presence.

All around where I live is a 280 million year old granite called “Drammensgranitt”.

Like the old oak i made a sculpture of. […]

The third sculpture symbolising the Snark trap is done. Together with the “ship” it will also add a stereo sound of the Arne Nordheim soundtrack playing on both sides of the Snark sculpture. Now I just need to find a place to show it all 🙂

Sculpture two of three symbolizes the ship and the pursuit of the Snark. The oak logs become a black sea. Felt in the logs is a loudspeaker for the music by Arne Nordheim “The hunting of the Snark” played by Gaute Vikdal. The next sculpture will also have an integrated loudspeaker to provide stereo on […]

The first of three sculpture based on “The Hunting of The Snark” by Lewis Caroll published in 1876. I have now finished “The Snark” (shown here) which is an independent work, but I also want to symbolize the hunt through two forthcoming corresponding large sculptures with integrated speakers. They will stand on the side of […]
