‹LAST STATION› 2024

‹That which is not allowed to be big anymore› has been given a new ‹station› and a new form/new format. In everyday life, we talk about different standard formats, e.g. A-format and Euro pallet format. These are supposed to make it easier to store and transport goods with the least possible volume. I have been so bold that I have ‹flirted› with this in the hope of being able to place what I have on a smaller area or with less volume. There are many such golden rules in art too, e.g. ‹The golden ratio› and ‹Golden rectangle›. By dividing large textiles/lengths of fabric into smaller formats, you get closer and see details that you don’t discover in the large surfaces.

In the spring I had 6 point presentations around Førde (phase 1), and now this autumn I have had 6 point presentations in a barn in Førde (phase 2).

On November 1st, the project will end and I can step out of the bubble of ‹All my› and into the next phase; ‹That which comes after what has been›.

I would like to thank in particular:

Grete Huus for being with me at the start of the project.

Øystein Klakegg for photographing the project in stages.

Fletens Dekor for printing wall texts at short notice.
