In 2011 I was commissioned to create 5 Mandalas for KLP (Kommunal Landspensjonskasse), one for each floor in their new building in Bjørvika, Oslo, each measuring 150 x 150 cm.
Exploring the energy circling around the center, the dynamics of repetition. Breaking down, building up, like the natural cycles we see in all organic material, in everything alive.

Innenfor mørke vegger ligger det myke, grønne lyset og venter. Vokterne danser i grenene.

Frossent vann bærer sporene av gårsdagen med seg. Blomstene som omga vannspeilet er nå innkapslet av is.

Breaking out
Building an image, layer by layer. Small plant details broken down and rebuilt. New organic shapes appear, and when the image is “ready” I start over again, but this time working geometrical. The picture is being divided in 9 parts, building an image breaking out of the circle, outside the frame. Each pf the 9 parts are printed on Japanese washi.
