Detail
Ane Henriksen created a very intimate exhibition and used a
lot of varying media to create her work. Large scale, macro photographs
of the body, observational sketches and large weavings were among the work on
display. The choice of the human body for a subject is one I have
explored myself, and has been done by many others in the past. Henriksen
achieved a new angle on this subject, literally. The personal view of the
body, as seen in 'Husalter' has a slight humour to it. Although I
was a little bit repulsed by the 'A Swaddling Room' prints, I can
appreciate their scale and detail, as well as the fact they conjured such a
strong response, even if it was a negative one. However, for me the most
astounding pieces were the textile weavings. The scale, density, detail
and achievement of drawing all filled me with admiration.
