| My interpretation of a Huldra, a type of siren in Norweigian folklore |
I recently went on Light Grey Art Lab's Norway residency at part of Team Huldra. It was an amazing experience and an excuse to meet a bunch of wonderful creatives.
After the residency, my mom and cousins met me in Bergen for more exploration.
When I got back, I thought I did not do much sketching until I counted them. I did 32 sketches over 17 days!
