Wave

Public commission for Tromsøbadet: a wave shaped pine relief of about twelve square metres in the café / foyer, Grundvåg’s first work for a public building. The relief is built in twelve parts from heat treated pine (termofuru).

Pine was chosen for its everyday, public associations and for a smell that recalls sauna culture beside the pools. The carving method uses less material than the substantial form might suggest, tying the work to questions of consumption and resource use.
