On July 22nd 2011 I inspected this tree at Botanical Garden, Tøyen (Oslo) which had been felled for safety reasons.

I am a Norwegian artist working with drawings and sculpture in several different materials: wood, steel, concrete, iron and stone. I have been represented at numerous exhibitions in Norway and abroad, including six times at the National Autumn Exhibition in Oslo. A number of my sculptures consist of groups of two or three objects where the movement / energy / space between them creates a tension. In my solo exhibition "Shadows" (Tegnerforbundet, Oslo 2008), I explored formal issues of light and space in both drawings and sculptures. All my works in wood are composed using a special technique; by joining pieces of wood in different sizes and then shaping them with a chainsaw. I build the shapes by adding and subtracting in a repetitive pattern. The chainsaw serves as a powerful pencil to accentuate or correct lines and shapes. See for example ”Wolves” and “Angels”. Other techniques are used in my "Horse and Rider" series based on Uccellos battle scenes. I isolate the characters from the battle scenes, drawing them one by one in a backlight situation. My focus is on the play of light and darkness. I develop patterns of light that contrast various figurations resulting in a virtual surprise attack on the observer.
