Textiles, performance and sculpture.
For the last 2 years she has worked on the project A Room Without a Door. The intention of the project is to create a presence in- and with consideration for the nature that we currently overconsume. With the help of silk and movement, Grete wants to raise awarness of the consideration and care that she herself has experienced through her work with outdoor performances, and give more people this opportunity to see nature with new eyes.

Silje Kjørholt
Performance and sculpture
Silje works with clay in performance and sculptural expressions. At the core of her practice is the connection between the body and the ground. Sometimes using clay as a proxy for her own body, she traces experiences where physical and emotional gravity meld together. For her the duality of clay as a safe and fatal force in the landscape, mirrors the intimate bonds between people.
