Statement I am a collector of materials wherever I go. In my art, I use many different ones. For commissions, my choice of materials depends upon the architecture, light and colors in the specific building. The material may be glass, metal, wood, or horsehair and sometimes painting on canvas or paper. In my plexiglas boxes, I create three-dimensional rooms using industrial waste and objects found in the nature. I am inspired by the beauty of these objects and by their logical geometry. In my boxes, I may add colored forms of wood, metal or paper and sometimes, grids made of thread.                                                                                                                                Britt Smelvær
