Kjersti Timenes : Web Gallery : Textile Art : Coastwatch

 

In 1988 some of my colleagues - teachers in science – with Agder College of Education was engaged in a project called Coast-watch International. The aim was to watch the environment along the coast combined with awakening responsibility for the environment among students and pupils in primary schools.

Two of us who taught arts and crafts became inspired of this. We wanted to express the idea of this in picture and sculpture.

My colleague Anny Haabesland participated with sculptures modelled in clay and other materials. My part was weaving tapestries.
