I am hooked! I spent one month at Awagami Factory in 2018, doing pulp painting, and there is no way back. I came back to Awagami in 2019, 2020 and in 2024. As a printmaker I transferred my mindset to the pulp, with layering and reduction, but the pulp opened new approaches, and I immediately felt this is it. This is love! The experience will definitely influence my printmaking process, and I will search for new possibilities to work with pulp. In my own studio I can do smaller works, but to go really big, the world will be my playground.
I love to share the magical process behind each paperwork, and in the fall 2020 PlanteLiv papirmakeri was established supported by The Cultural Council of Norway. It is a cooperation with The Botanical Garden in Bergen, where a group of 10 representing art, design, botany and gardening is cooperating to make paper from the plants in the garden. We share our knowledge with a larger audience through a series of workshops.
During my stay as visiting artist at Awagami Factory, Japan, Awagami made a film about my process and approach.
