Åse Ljones Sculptures
Norwegian, b. 1954
Statement:
Embroidering takes time, it's a slow process that gives room for silence. I seek silence. In the quietness I can bring back memories and find new ways to go. I often work with series, where small changes create a rhythm, tranquility or excitement in my works.
Selected collections and exhibition venues:
