The other day
I felt like making a still life.

I set it up on the floor
because I wanted the background to be white.
And I had a good time doing it!

Have a great day!

-  THE ART OF WRITING LETTERS  -

I'm so lucky to have a friend 
who writes me these beautiful letters!
They're more like works of art really.
Not only is the handwriting outstanding,
but she also illustrates the letters with a precious watercolor!
Can you believe it? 
She's a heartfelt aesthetic and a true artist,
this rare, elderly woman,
and I treasure her friendship.

The only problem is that it's so hard to answer her
with my handwriting..
I think I'll practice calligraphy this autumn!

I really enjoy my morning cup of coffee,
and if I have 5 minutes for a doodle
that makes me so happy!

Have a beautiful day!

One fine day I saw this still life from my bed.
It was my party dress from the day before
hung up on my closet
and there was nothing new about it,
I just suddenly saw the scene with "new" eyes.

And there it was
a potential motive.
Don't you think this would do nicely as a paining?

We'll see.
For now I've saved the impression in the photo.
Maybe that's enough.

I like to play around with flowers,
arrange them in different settings,
and see how I can use the happy accidents that occur in an artistic way.

A job meeting can be so many things.
It can for instance take place in beautiful surroundings like these.
The beauty around us
- I believe it affects us more than we tend to think.

-  ESTETIKK; dypere ENN OVERFLATESKJØNNHET  -

6/3/2014

Ifølge det moderne estetikkbegrepet er skjønnhet noe som beskriver utsiden av en gjenstand eller et menneske. Men det vakres historie er lang, og tidligere betød estetikk noe mye mer enn overflateskjønnhet. 

I Antikken bar det vakre i seg muligheten for en estetisk opplevelse - en opplevelse vi kan få når vi lar oss berøre av skjønnheten i verden eller i kunsten. Dette kalles Platons skjønnhetsmetafysikk, og viser til det vakres potensiale til å løfte oss opp fra det hverdagslige. De fleste av oss har vel hatt en sånn opplevelse i møte med naturen eller foran et kunstverk. 

Gjennom et kunstprosjekt i regi av Continuum Project har jeg studert antikkens skjønnhetssyn og skrevet et essay om det - du kan lese det her i sin helhet hvis du er interessert. 

Diktet av Hans Børli synes jeg beskriver akkurat denne egenskapen skjønnheten har til å løfte oss opp og ut over oss selv. 

Se på verdens vakre ting

Se på verdens vakre ting:
Barnesmil. Blomster. Stenen.
En edel ring --

Tingene er et regnbu-hvelv.
Skjønnhet som lar deg ane
noe av Skjønnheten selv.

I tingene lengtet Gud inn
lys og form fra landet
hinsides sol og sinn. 

Hver liten ting
det gis en navnløs lykke. Den 
kan selv de lykkeløse menn
få møte i sin hverdags grend.

Stans opp og se deg fritt omkring:
Du står som inne i en ring
av ennå uforløste ting.

Da skjer et under. Her og nå:
En blomst blir blomst, et strå blir strå,
- fordi du stanset opp og så.



// This is an article on beauty; the modern way of seeing beauty compared to the way the ancient greeks looked at beauty. 


These days we think of beauty as something describing the surface of things or people. But the greeks saw deeper and found that by studying the beauty of the world, man had a possibility to transcend his everyday self and merge into something bigger than himself. This is called Plato's Metaphysics. //
