Trude Selnes

Trude Selnes is a Norwegian visual and craft artist whose work moves between photography, digital image-based art and jewellery. Her practice investigates structural patterns found in architecture, biological systems and natural growth. Through photography and digital image processes she explores visual rhythms, structures and repetitions that later reappear as physical forms in jewellery and sculptural objects. Moving between image and object, her works translate digital structures into three-dimensional form. Selnes holds a Master’s degree in Art and Metalwork from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts and lives and works in Sandefjord. "Mine verk tar ofte utgangspunkt i et tema, men utvikler seg gjennom en åpen og intuitiv prosess. Jeg arbeider med kontraster i farger, linjer og sammenstillinger, og lar nye formelementer og komposisjoner oppstå underveis. I denne prosessen transformeres utgangspunktet gradvis til noe annet – en metamorfose.”
