The painting was made during the Kjerringøy Land Art residency with guide of Sami-Norwegian painter, Gerd Grimsø. The memory of Colorado and Illinois landscapes merge with new impressions of Nevelsfjord in the abstract aquarelle. The Y-Blokka sculpture was made of a long bar of imported olive oil soap during the ongoing conflict of removing the Y-Blokken at Akersgata 44, 0180 Oslo. The protest for the plan had great public momentum but no effect in saving the city planning changes to raze the building. The idea for the soap sculpture is the relationship to the Y form and the impermanent qualities it has in both genetics and light. The bond between X and Y is dissolved in water, just as the soap will eventually become lesser and lesser when exposed to water. Yttrium and additional elemental qualities are connected to the Y-form. “The structure, the making and demolition, when brought into light with the human relationship with environment seemed evident to me, but wasn’t something people seemed willing to come to terms with. Perhaps only in the intimate moments of grief, do humans reflect on the memory of what their actions cause.” -Rachel W. Please visit this website for complete information: https://yblokka.no
