The sea carries a magic that attracts me, a seductive force. The attraction to the sea is filled with contradictions, which constantly fill me with wonder, curiosity, and respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Life in the sea has always inspired me. From watching it from the shore or by leaning over the side in a small boat, or nature series on television that show life in the depths. Amazing shapes and colours. Today, I feel a deep concern for the sea. The temperature is rising, the fear that ocean currents take new paths, mining on the seabed, etc..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My sea objects have taken a long time to produce. Each piece is unique. I use silk organza that I dye with various plants, seaweed, sea urchins, and lichen. The dyed silk is then hand-sewn in the technique called waffle stitch (an over 800-year-old technique) where I twist and turn the fabric to achieve the desired sculptural expression. The object is integrated into dried kelp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/site.nord.no\/benthic-ecology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2026\/06\/Ingrid-Larssen-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-826\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.nord.no\/benthic-ecology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2026\/06\/Ingrid-Larssen-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/site.nord.no\/benthic-ecology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2026\/06\/Ingrid-Larssen-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/site.nord.no\/benthic-ecology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2026\/06\/Ingrid-Larssen-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/site.nord.no\/benthic-ecology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2026\/06\/Ingrid-Larssen-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/site.nord.no\/benthic-ecology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2026\/06\/Ingrid-Larssen-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title of the artwork: Objekt XXV,&nbsp;Objekt XXIV,&nbsp;Objekt XXII Research theme: Deep-water corals (Birte Schuppe; read more&#8230;) From the artist: The free water surface, what I see and what I think I see; down there in the depths.
