Hanne Margaretha Biedilæ

Is a contemporary artist based in Fredrikstad, Norway. Her distinctive work interrogates the ways in which we relate to ourselves, each other, and with nature inspired by her kvääni roots.

Biedilæ’s multidisciplinary practice includes ceramic sculpture, objects, installation, paintings on canvas or paper in various sizes, as well as works on large canvas in mixed media and graphics. She works with both an abstract and figurative language.

 

Educated in Denmark and Norway, Biedilæ has worked in her own workshop/studio and run different galleries alone and in multiple art collectives since 2006.

She holds interactive art courses in techniques such as ceramics, paint and drawing for public services, private companies and individuals.

 

Like the ebb and flow of the tide

I feel fear and joy

Who should I be, and who will I be

who are you, and who are we

Each experience, challenge or enrichment

what impressions do they leave

 on us, on you or me

These imprints are not erased

They follow us throughout our lives

They are displayed in and on us

VAIMOVOIMA- Kvääni expression of power and drive among women

Central in her works is the feminine universe and female identity where she explores the relasjon between men and women in correlation to gender equality, and women and young girls roles in society both in close relations and globally.
