Solo Award Nominee at the annual spring exhibition in Copenhagen.

My Proces Performance at the annual spring exhibition at Kunsthal Charlottenborg in Copenhagen. 28 day loom challenge inside a curated fine artshow.

Mimosa Memory is inspired by the delicate fragility of the mimosa flower and tree. One single touch will destroy the sensitive flower. Same goes for my newly invented material, one single touch of the surface, will destroy the original artwork and leave a permanent mark. Nature is sensitive.

My workspace and the energetic sensations of spaces effects my choice of colors, effects my breath, my inner vision, my ambience, my physical body. In this project I explore how my artwork will grow on the loom, if I arrange an intimate personal workspace inside of a curated art show. The audience will then witness my process live during the 5 weeks of the show.

My Mimosa project started in Statens Værksteder during a two month artist in residence, summer 2019 in Copenhagen. The second and final part of the art piece will grow in Kunsthal Charlottenborg during the annual curated spring exhibition 2020. I was selected with my loom -proces performance, exploring how it feels like to work focused in a public space - challenging the audience to keep a distance, keep silent and NOT TOUCH… my performance endured 28 days in total, with the last day on march 8th, Woman International day. That same day, we took off the final piece from the loom in a ceremonial spirit. Next step for the Mimosa is yet to be revealed.
