Commission -  Frieda Fasmers Minne, Hospital. Bergen.

Natural stone. 1996

The hospital was extended during 1994-97: 24 rooms, canteen, and 20 service locations - total 4300m2. I worked with the landscape architect and the architect in the planning process.

Central intentions: the interplay of daylight, season, and vegetation. New forms and material experience, including wheelchair eye view.

3 outside sculptures. Simple gestures: to open, to close, to support, to be supported – contained in one outside space.

Stone: Askøy-gneiss, which has an especially rich colour play when wet. Surfaces: sawn, partly flame-treated. Contours: rough, cut by hand.

The sculptures vary in height from 80 to 160 cm.

Builders: Bergen Kommune.
