Visual artist, ELISABET ALSOS STRAND from Norway, explores the universe of paper and printmaking in the form of paper making, woodblock prints and artists’ books. During her stay at OUR AIR she wants to investigate the possibilities working with wood pulp, thanks to a generous contribution from cellulose factory UPM Jakobstad / Pietarsaari.
In Jakobstad she found an old barn. The timber logs were imprinted by time, weather and insects’ life. By covering the timber logs with sheets of paper, she could transfer the shape and texture of the old barn onto the paper. The wood became paper, and paper became wood. The circle was unbroken.
Visual artist, MARI MATHLIN from Finland, living in Iceland, is working with found materials in nature, and experimenting for example how different plants have different colours when used as a brush on paper. Mari Mathlin ended her residency with an exhibition at Gallery Rådhuset in Nykarleby, called JÄR – HÄR – TÄÄLLÄ – HERE, from August 15th until September the 10th, 2022.
INGRID SOLESVIK is a visual artist from Stavanger, Norway. She wishes to see a country new to her, with it’s landscape and cities, and to learn about it’s history and people. Ingrid Solesvik wishes to gather new impressions with an open mind, with the view to process these further when back home. The journey is regarded as a basis for new ideas and the sketchbook is her diary to be filled with notes, drawings and paintings.
