ART
Karina Siegmund describes herself as a collector of nature, always on the hunt for enchanting weather or captivating views to inspire her work. Whether it is shimmering ice crystals or the porous texture of the sky above, she manages to capture its natural essence upon her audio-visual tapestries in a way that is nothing short of dazzling. On Norway’s west coast, in a care home in Førde, the elderly residents talk about meeting ‘on the glacier’. Not everyone knows that what they really mean is meeting up in front of one of Karina Siegmund’s majestic installations, which is set up in the home’s grand auditorium.
