ARTIST EVA KURSETH - I AM NATURE
Under this heading, three catalogues gather works that circle around nature as both vulnerable and sacred. They point toward a reality in which landscapes are not merely backdrops to human life, but living spaces of presence, history, and transformation. One series holds experiences of oneness with nature, while the Anthropocene series carries clear marks of destruction and control. In the last catalogue, the focus is on the dissolution of the very ground itself as it meets a rising waterline that erodes the land. Traces of soil and mud, shifting colours, and dissolving forms suggest a movement from solidity toward something more unstable—from earth to sludge, meltwater, and ice. In another series, figurative and abstract elements are brought together: photographs and digitized paintings are woven into new visual spaces. Fragments of nature, colour fields, and surface structures collide in sometimes brutal encounters that form a new kind of whole. Here, nature appears regulated, framed, and constrained, as if the sacred has been overwritten, pushed aside, or pressed into the background. Taken together, these three series open a space for reflection: on how nature is treated, what is lost, and what nevertheless continues to be present. Amid rupture, intervention, and dissolution, a quiet presence still insists—a reminder that the sacred in nature does not disappear, but changes form and must be recognized anew.
