Description: An abstract anthropomorphic sculpture with a wabi-sabi spherical form and four legs. This is amongst my favorites of the new works. It is built up in layers and wrapped with a partially embedded woven gridwork made from a kind of wool that is very significant to Norway. The “Old Norse späelsau” is the carrier of the oldest genes in Europe dating back to the Viking Age. Today they are protected and supported by the production of their own wool. The surface of the sculpture is rubbed in beige and bits of burnt umber.
The lightweight construction of this work is made possible with materials and methods engineered for strength at a light weight.
