The new abstract paintings from artist Astri Styrkestad Haukaas exist between stillness and movement, inspired by the calmness of water and coastlines — embodying the softness and harshness of each. In her own words:

A rocky coast not on the map
To love someone is to put yourself in their story
Respectfully traversing the geography of it
I’m mapping the newly revealed land of the retracted water
A shoreline or riverbed that shows a large amount of soft stones and forgotten bones
Tomorrow I will do the same
