Making Imprints

As an artist working with film and photography from a deep ecology perspective, I am interested in advancing our understanding of the shared environment, by examining human intervention in nature. My artworks are made during interdisciplinary expeditions to unfamiliar geographic and conceptual terrain. Through the creative process, I seek an understanding of time, history and ecological concerns. In particular, I am interested in how the distant past impacts on the actions of today, and will continue impacting on the distant future. In this reflective text, I unravel some of the background to two of my artworks: my film Prosperous Mountain (2014) and the series of electron micrographs Ringhorndalen (2020).
