" In silence" - Contemplations.

The images here started off as an attempt to illustrate the bewilderment I sometimes feel living in the modern world with all its demands. I have this summer (2016) had some of them on show in an exhibition made by me and my fellow war veteran artists in Bergen. The show was called "Camouflage". In this context they took up a whole different meaning as a description of the detachment so many of the veterans feel ( and I certainly felt) when returning to civilian life after having served in conflicts around the world. It was a new thing for me to work in cooperation with other artists with the same background and an experience I really liked.
