Working on a new exhibition can also be a lot of fun, I have the joy of playing with colours and forms - and the extra joy of having some wonderful assistants who willingly come and share the often arduous work with me. http://www.ragnhild-monsen.com/ragnhild_monsen-2007v1_117.htm Sat, 31 Mar 2007 21:32:46 GMT GKR I also am blessed with 'strange coincidences'. This work commenced in October last year (2002) with the title "Memento Mori" (meaning : "Remember always the death"). Since that time two major crises have occurred which have, in themselves, contributed to the emotional power of this particular exhibition. http://www.ragnhild-monsen.com/ragnhild_monsen-2007v1_117.htm Sat, 31 Mar 2007 21:32:46 GMT GKR I love to work with 'abstract' art..but then, all art is subjective is it not.....both for the viewer and for the artist. http://www.ragnhild-monsen.com/ragnhild_monsen-2007v1_117.htm Sat, 31 Mar 2007 21:32:46 GMT GKR " All my creative work is a striving to weave a link to the world. I weave because this link was at one time broken. Thus my subconscious provides an inexhaustible wellspring for me to draw from. My weaving becomes a symbol of this - the threads are entered into the warp: the connection is re-established; the inner bond materialised" http://www.ragnhild-monsen.com/ragnhild_monsen-2007v1_117.htm Sat, 31 Mar 2007 21:32:46 GMT GKR
