Edition of 10. Kristin Nordhøy received her MA in Visual Arts at the Oslo National Academy and has since showed her work in exhibitions throughout Europe. She has been the recipient of prestigious grants from the Art Council Norway and the Norwegian Visual Artists Association and her work can be found in collections around the world.
This woodcut is the fifth in a series of prints running parallel to Nordhøy’s set of drawings, Inverted. In her drawings the lines are indented into the paper and then filled with charcoal – an approach which naturally lends itself to printmaking. When viewed closely the works show the wood grain contrasting with the more formal geometry and intersecting lines of her drawn compositions.
