A TOWERING OBSESSION

In a few words
A TOWERING OBSESSION (ATO) is a tribute to the creative process, to the beauty and frustration of the unfinished state, the imperfect shape. It is intended as an exploration, a visual narrative tracking the various stages of the creative process. Its abstract forms and constellations of shapes and clusters of colours refers to both the mechanical and natural.
From The Notebook
In ATO, every sculpture, drawing, sketch, is part of the same process, and so I don’t separate between finished and unfinished as every element has its place.
When and Where
First exhibited in 2007, ATO one of Solberg’s ‘neverending’ projects. What started a single exhibition project soon developed into a continuous sculptural exploration, with sculptures ranging in size from from ten centimetres to several meters, in materials ranging from chocolate and port-liver pate to plaster and cast-iron.
ATO PROJECT SPACE, a complete database of sculptures, sketches, videos, diaries, tracking every success and failure will launch in 2023.
