SAMI DIALOGUE

2019,      birch, birchbark, steel, stone.        9’  x   8’  x  8’,

The idea for this project grew from my research into the nomadic Sami culture  and the lavvu structures they fabricated.  The work consists of a tent like form constructed of birchbark over an armature.  There are seating elements on each side made of split birch logs.  The piece exists along a trail on one of the highest points in Nolhaga Park.  It is in Alingsas, Sweden and was commissioned by Kulturforeningen Tornet for Landart in Alingsas.
