Artwork Description

Sandgren, The Space between 2

0.0 x 0.0

I named the installation ‘Sandgren, The Space Between’. Sandgren refers to ‘sand’ and ‘branch’; elements entirely implemented from the land’s ingrained natural materials. Usage of branches, with quirky direction, shape and angles curiously delineate the sculptural work I created. One ancient Viking boat, people, and animals upon a Nordic Bronze Age Petroglyph from Sweden excited me. I often heard of Viking transportation from Scandinavia all the way to Newfoundland, Canada (my country). My Swedish ancestors immigrated upon sailing ships in 1889, during a peak period of vast population growth, which downsized homeland’s farm sites. I reference images of my Swedish ancestors, ironically all outdoors in wilderness.
