Anngjerd's Erratic
Anngjerd, my girlfriend that is, just graduated with a Master degree from the Art Academy in Bergen. She's gotten a lot of press for her sculpture Erratic, which is well deserved in my extremely biased opinion. It's a real treat for photographers though. It consists of 800 stones tied in barely visiable nylon strings, hanging from a grid in the celing. It's about 2 meters tall and resembles a real stone. It's modeled after a stone formed by glaciers, and all the stones in the work are also the result of glaciers.
