Kjølnes sports park (Porsgrunn city, Norway) is a centre for a variety of sports: ball sports, swimming, outdoor activities, skating and more. The area consists of several parts of different ages. The last addition is a new swimming pool (2019).

The artistic works concentrate on movement:

For the outdoor system about movement in air: sculpture "The Leap".
For the swimming pool about movement in water: "The Splash" and "The Stream".

Outdoor sculpture
Porsgrunn municipality at the Art Committee wanted a clear sculptural mark that could represent the area as a whole. It should

- be a visible vital sign in the landscape towards the building mass
- provide changing spatial experience related to movement in and around the square
- be associated with the entire sports park, not just the buildings vis-à-vis

I sought to let three arcs enter into a rhythmic, spatial interaction. The balance forces are stretched as far as possible. The constellation is possible, but precarious.

The swimming pool
There was a desire for art for window surfaces in the new swimming pool, made in coloured window film.
The linear arch shapes from the sculpture were taken further. Now in order to suggest water, instead of space and air:

- in strong motion (as in splashing, diving, fountains, etc.) at the central window to the exterior wall. .
- in calm motion (as in calm sea, slow river flow, pool at rest) at the window to interior guard room.
