I had to make a tribute to Marilyn Monroe. As all Norwegians know, her father came from just outside my home town of Haugesund. The city has also the only statue of Miss Monroe in the world, made out of bronze of the norwegian sculpturer Nils Aas.
She was the girl that got away. She disappeared from it all now 50 years ago. So I made this artwork that is named “The Disappearance Act”
The Disappearance Act – 2012
The Girl that got Away – 2012
