Creative collaborations are an essential and ongoing aspect of my professional practice. 

The challenge during this project was that the process of creation took place across continents and therefor in a kind of imaginative and illusive space, where the collaborators could only sense and envision what the other might create and react to. Only during the presentation of the outcome will the collaboration be experienced and truly come to fruition.

I so chose to base my work around that tension of the obvious and the unknown.

Remote fishing villages in Northern Norway and Scotland form the scenic backdrop of the project. 

The obvious, like the knotted rope of a boat resting in the harbour or an empty fishing net after the daily catch has been emptied and shipped off for export are symbolic for the life of the place and culture. Yet simultaneously they also visualise the knot between place and tradition, time and change and the vault between what once was and will be.
