Solveig Landa
Solveig Landa uses prints and installations to address the way nature and man relate to each other. The porous boundaries between nature and man-made elements and her memories are essential to her practice. Through symbols and abstract motifs, she expresses how vulnerable resources in our surroundings are being degraded to no purpose or benefit. Concerned for an unstable future, she draws on the essence of her surroundings and describes vulnerability and tension that exists in humans and our surroundings.
