In 2021 I got the proposal to develop some ideas for the main hall in Narvik Public School. I made this big woven piece called "In the Schoolyard" for the back wall that measures 2,6x9,7 m. The inspiration was this one moment that I could observe while visiting the school in February 2021. The kids were standing outside in this white snow background, with some trees in the distance—one frozen moment of their life. Later I made several sketches and worked on the composition and bindings of the colour fields. I intentionally separated red, green and blue channels and moved them slightly to get the 3D effect when observing the piece from a distance. I also wanted to replicate big windows from the side of the hall and play with colour, so I did blue, green and pink versions as if you watch the scene through coloured glass. Technically, I had to take care of the wall's acoustic properties and find a clever way of joining the woven pieces together as the width of the woven surface was 1,5 for each panel. The artwork was installed in December 2021.
