Tormod Carlson and children from Fykse



Apples are important for the Hardanger region of Norway, which is one of Europe’s larges apple producing areas. Thinking a bit about global warming and environmental issues before the Bluss two week process I thought it would be interesting to work with the children in the village to create rare and new fruit sculptures for the event. Playing on the thought of what could happen if the global warming continues...will Hardanger have become a tropical landscape? Strangely when we sat down to produce these fruits all children wanted to make was large red lanterns. Reminding me of apples. Whether it was too difficult to make other fruits or whether it was to difficult to imagine other fruits on the trees in Fykse I don’t know. The result was a poetic piece with red lanterns hanging in trees which where growing on a rock.
