Utløp
Bekken har sitt utspring ved vannets utløp. et snitt mellom stillstand og strøm, en overgangstilstand. Utløpet er ikke et punkt, men et øyeblikk.

Bekken har sitt utspring ved vannets utløp. et snitt mellom stillstand og strøm, en overgangstilstand. Utløpet er ikke et punkt, men et øyeblikk.
Utløpet er ikke et brått opphav, men en forskyvning. Et sted der vannet ikke lenger kan forbli flate, men må finne form. I motsetning til kilden, som peker bakover mot opprinnelse, vender utløpet seg fremover – mot bevegelse, retning, konsekvens.
Der utspring antyder et sprang, rommer utløp en lavmælt nødvendighet:
vannet gir etter for landskapet, lar seg lede, og blir til løp.
Capturing a moment’s pause in the shelter of a small cove, where the little stream begins its journey and the expansive view unfolds.
This piece is crafted with soft pastels on textured and coloured card.
Creating an abstract landscape on paper is much like telling a story through steep cliffs and rushing water. The tale of majestic mountains and friendly slopes are told by dry pigments rubbed into cotton paper until the whole surface is filled with colourful pigments that‘s creating images of recognisable shapes and places remembered. But its more than that, its a tale of life itself; a souls cape, a reflection on human emotions.
I like to reimagine a specific place or a recognisable landscape and to translate it into a lyrical landscape. Abstraction allows me to incorporate the whole experience from the emotions brought about by the scent of wam earth at sunlit hills to the sounds of running water and the whispers of the wind. The landscape is dissolved and translated it into a colour mood.
This artwork is made with soft pastels and has a fine layer of fixative as finishing coat. It has a delicate surface and needs the protection of glass. It ships flat in a box.
