Inspired by William Blake's poem "A Poison Tree," this artwork explores the destructive power of suppressed anger and the inevitable consequences it bears. Drawing from the narrative tapestries of 15th-century Gobelins and integrating the complexity of 3D printed structures, it bridges historical and contemporary modes of expression.
The artwork will be exhibited at Galleri Soft in Oslo until the 7th of April 2024.
