SOLVEIG AALBERG<br />

1955 NORWAY TEXTILE, WEAVING<br />

Solveig Aalberg explores serial expression through weaving, needlework and paper. She seeks a union between the tactility of the material and the fluidity<br />

of thought. In her artwork, movement is a central theme often involving a study of repetition, mirroring and displacement.<br />

Aalberg works in a visual language where the simple and the complex are interdependent while also actively using her main textile materials to create<br />

contrasts between the formal and clean. Her work is about putting together different tones or colors in such a way that they, along with the shapes and<br />

the composition, hit a string—preferably a meditative string—in the person looking at the textile. And, in doing so, she hopes to inspire the viewer to<br />

discover the associations among rhythm, tones, infinity and silence.<br />
