Trygve Skogrand
The main subject for my artistic work is the investigation into the meeting of the sacred and the temporal. I see this mystery expressed in the wordless exchange between nature, the body and the soul. My artistic practice is digital, exploring both algorithmic and manually controlled digital processes in my search after insight into the mystery of human existence. My works have been exhibited in the UK, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Norway and Mexico and been published as several art books. I live and work at the edge of a large forest in Trondelag, Norway.
