I Soft Galleri sin nettbutikk ligger det nå vevarbeid for salg, og arbeid av mange andre norske tekstilkunstnere/kunsthåndverkere.
Projects: Nupereller_Roses/Poses, on roles, to care for, and to posture yourself. This project is done with a regard to the norwegian poet Inger Hagerups beautiful poem Nyperosa. I started my work on this project in 2018. The roses are appropriated from Den Norske Flora(1974/85 utgaven). And future tapestries are for now my project on men and their words in literature on men and their friendship with women, in You Never Laugh Laughter(q.D.H.Lawrence).
You can see some of my tapestries at American Tapestry Alliance where Jessica Hemmings has curated the exhibition From Back to Front.
Warp in Web/ Free Me:
A few years ago I made a row of tapestries, with a reference to a booklet tematizing women, self-help literature and loveaddictons. These tapestries were shown to point to how victims after been offended, violated or/and publicly shamed show little but fright of being in relationships, and that they find it hard to get and receive love. The tapestries have titles inspired by webhoroscopes and shown as a whole, the title was: You Might As Well Face It: You`re Addicted to Love. In my sketches, the tapetries had undertitles as: Blush! / Stay!/ Kneel! / Dream!
Addictions is not what I write about in my lyrics, but the afterglows of living, in several ways. And I try to add a little humour, or distance, so we, you, dont have to be blue:

The project When Grief Comes was shown at LANDART 2015 in Ask. In this project I focused on the healing aspects nature, music and birds can have for those that are in need of healing and of seeing an end to misery. The Bluebird is an old symbol of hope and new beginnings. When Grief Comes also has its own playlist on some platforms: Birds and Trees, Playlist Landart 2015. Enjoy!The shelter is made by Kjetil Sivertsen and Odd J. Martinsen.
