ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This artwork is a selection of foraminifera found in all our oceans. Foraminifera are a deep-sea life form and hard to discern by the naked eye (size of a sand grain). They are very sensitive to physical and chemical environmental changes and therefore, are ideal indicators for paleo ceanographic and paleo climatic history of the Earth. They can tell us the sea level, temperature, and ocean conditions of our Earth millions of years ago. It's painted with water-soluble graphite, which is basically a watercolour on fine art paper. I did this painting during my artist-in-residency with some micropaleontologists and geologists from the university in Norway.

I am an artist based in Tromsø, Norway. In working on my botanical, entomological, avian, and ecological art, I love both the affective and scientific exploration of nature and the wonderful small and large worlds within it. Because this ignites my imagination in so many ways, I also love bringing an element of fiction into my artworks whenever inspiration leads me there. I love how working in great detail draws me into the subject more and more, so that the process of painting also becomes an immersive experience of learning and interaction. I usually work with watercolour and graphite, but I also like to explore ink techniques, eco-plant-printing and other creative processes. Increasingly, I make my own pigments from all sorts of plants and stones, to further connect me and my paintings with nature and give each painting a unique flavour.
