Nanuq Polynia
Nanuq Polynia is a series of five drawings that explore the animals
living in the borderline of ice and water in the arctic. Nanuq is Inuit for
polar bear and Polynia, which derives from Russian, is a large area of open
water surrounded by sea ice. By drawing and observing animals I wish to
meditate on and investigate the shamanistic bond between animal, nature and
human. The work was created for the exhibition "Tegning Nå" at Spriten Kunsthall in Skien, Norway 2013, which was curated by Catrine Orr Danielsen.
