Drawing as Sculpture in the Sculpture Park.
The Norwegian artist Marit Roland has buildt a unique installation on site, where the paper plays the main role. The three-dimensional drawing cannot be moved and is displayed exclusively at Wanås Konst until it is time to go to recycling. Roland is educated at the Art Academy in Trondheim and the exhibition will be her first in Sweden. The artist has built a unique installation on site, where the paper plays the main role that is shown exclusively at Wanås Konst.
Monumental but vulnerable, this is how the Norwegian artist Marit Roland describes her paper creations. In the ongoing series Paper Drawings, Roland works with abstract, site-specific, sculptural drawings where she draws with paper instead of on paper. The sheets of paper, which are otherwise just substrates filled with ink, pencil or charcoal, play the main role when Roland wrinkles, twists and folds to create shadows and lines in her three-dimensional drawings. The fragile works are perishable and after each exhibition they go to recycling and gets a new life after their time as art. Marit Roland describes her works: Paper Drawing is perishable and cannot be moved in its entirety. It can be made again, but will never be able to appear identically in two places.
