Series : Close 2021

My new series of paintings ‘Close’ was inspired by colour stories collected on walks alongside Londons Regent’s canal during the troubled year of 2020. I grew up close to the beach and always gravitate towards water to find calm. Not being able to travel anywhere, the vivid colour stories captured along the canal is a reminder of that one does not have to travel to find inspiration.

This series of paintings follows on from my pervious ‘Connected’ series exploring how we as humans interact and relate to each other. The new series ‘Close’ examines the ambiguity of this word. The comfort and secure feeling you can get by being close. The feeling of being too close. The feeling of having everything you need. The feeling of being close to loosing it all. All relevant feelings to the times we are living in.

Colour is central in my work. I collect colour stories wherever I go. I collect these stories on my way to the studio, going back to Norway and on my travels. These fragmented colour combinations collected as photos act as catalysts for the more extensive colour work I undertake in my studio. Read my colour journal here
