Wow! It\u00b4s been a while, haven\u00b4t it?! Time flies when you\u00b4re having fun!<\/p>\n
We\u00b4ve just ended 3 shows of Far, Far away in Bergen. With a full house on every show. It\u00b4s been such an artistic success, with lots of good feedback.<\/p>\n
My camera was being used to film the show, so I\u00b4ve been with out my \u201cdocumentation-intrument\u201d for days here. But that doesn\u00b4t mean I haven\u00b4t been having wonderful artistic experiences.<\/p>\n
Tuesday I had a talk about the importance of creativity for all the staff at HSH (the teachers college in Sunnhordland). Such a thrill! I was a bit \u2026 well, not nervous, but I think we can safely say a bit excited about the opportunity! It was only a 12-15 minute talk, but still. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
All week I\u00b4ve been staying with Kristine and her husband, who is studying to be an art-curator. We\u00b4ve had some really interesting discussions about art this week! What is art? When is something art? And when is it just an amateur-expression? When can one call oneself an artist? What are the criteria for good art? And so on.<\/p>\n
Friday I had a big gallery trip in Bergen. From the big established museums with Munch, to the smaller gallery shops with art for sale (found some AMAZING oil-paintings by Jan Terje Rafdal!) to finally a feminist awareness exhibition in Knipsu Gallery, which was also very good.<\/p>\n

Friday was also the big ship Skandi Bergen was being baptized in Bergen. Long story short, the art I was meant to deliver to this ship has been postponed due to the shipowners selling the ship. One of the pieces was sent directly from a printers across the country directly to the shipyard where the ship was built. I hadn\u00b4t even seen the picture, but the captain, took it onboard and put it up on the wall in the sky-lounge. Anyway, I was invited onboard to lunch with the captain, when we both found ourselves in Bergen. And seeing the picture on the wall I was a bit surprised! The printers hadn\u00b4t finished the job! This was supposed to be a relief, not just a plate. All the white was to be cut away. Especially annoying when it was the only picture onboard! You really have to be clear and double-check sometimes! It\u00b4s a good thing I have an excellent communication with my every-day-printers. They\u00b4re great!<\/p>\n
Anyway. This picture will be exchanged for a new one, printed and cut like it\u00b4s supped to be! Hopefully I\u00b4ll get to post a better picture than the one above.<\/p>\n
It as also a bit funny coming onboard, with the captain introducing me to the others, as the artist. Whereas everyone looked around, and said \u201d \u2026 where is the art?\u201d \ud83d\ude00 Well, it\u00b4s stored in my guest-room, to be honest! Ready and waiting for the next ship! ![\":-)\"](\"https:\/\/spindelmaker.bluesystems.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/simple-smile-23.png\")

Now, finally being home again, I\u00b4ve taken down my exhibition in Moster. My house is really filling up with art here! No, seriously. I did sell some of the art, and I am SO very thankful for all those who bought some of my art, to all those who visited the exhibition, and to all those who have given me such great feedback on my work. I am truly grateful!<\/p>\n
