The Artist |
The Artist The turner, Helge Hollund is currently living in Bjerkreim. In the basement I have a working area
where I enjoy spending time on wood or perhaps I am upstairs
by the computer doing genealogy research. The turning started in 1971 on a drill
gun, but later I have got more equipment to help
me do what I want to do. The last 10 years before
I was pensioner, I worked as a handicraft artist
mostly turning bowls. I have been a member of The
Norwegian Association of Art and Crafts and have
attended their exhibitions and arrangements. I
like to create things people can use in their
practical life, or perhaps just have the wooden
items before them to enjoy looking or I make
aesthetic bowls and pure artistic creations from
wood. Showing how God through many years shaped
the tree from a little seed. When the tree is
mature and cut down I do a little work. Sometimes I create items on the border of
what is possible to make out from the woods, my
tools and not at least my skill. |
