The island of Sølyst is inspiring and mysterious. With the arrival of developers on the island, nature has begun to give way to concrete and technology. The landscape and the industrial exist together, with a trajectory that implies industry will overwhelm the forests and fields. Motivated by their fear of losing nature that cannot be recovered, Ingeborg Kvame and Margrethe Aanestad explore the remaining forests, responding the specific environment of Sølyst and its resistance to humanity.
Ingeborg Kvame is interested in mystery on the island. Not only to explore what lurks on Sølyst, but to create more questions, more illusions. There is a magic in her work, no reflections and mirrors, but illusions that complicate reality. At Sølyst, Kvame aims to traverse the physical and emotional, the subterranean and the ethereal, light and darkness. Emphasizing the unknown, Kvame will create illusions that allow one to feel they could be swallowed by the earth, that they could disappear.
Margrethe Aanestad is an artist who explores light, color and texture, using a variety of media to fine-tune sculptural and architectural objects in relation to nature. Creating a site-specific installation in dialogue with the trees, the sun, the shadow, Aanestad transmits personal presences, manipulates space and reveals negotiations between intention, intuition and coincidence. The contrasting expression of flatness and dimensionality are manipulated to investigate drawing as a spatial action. While Kvame is digging into the ground, Aanestad is looking up. Using a fabric that serves the dual purpose of a sun clock and a flag, she creates work that changes over time. As shadows draw lines on the canvas, the painting will transform with the light and the wind.

In Through the Outdoor
Ingeborg Kvame (b1978) lives and works in Stavanger, Norway.
Kvame is concerned with inner nature and undefined spaces. She works with textile, drawing, objects and installations, and uses this to investigate the hidden and enigmatic aspects of life, through simple, sensuous abstractions, that often contains a somewhat mysterious undertone.
