The drawing is meant to illustrate what we look like when we go to bed with computers or other electronic equipment that gives too bright light and affects our sleep quality and sleep pattern in a negative way.

 Newspaper illustration for a reader's comment / letter in the abortion debate that has been going on in Norway the last few years. Should we accept abortion as a solution? Should we accept amniocentesis as a common routine and free option for all women so that they find out if they will bring forth a healthy child, or if they will have to deal with the consequences of having a child with an illness or diagnosis, and the possible abortion to avoid a life with a dysfunctional child. Do we have the right to decide who lives and not? Source: http://www.katrinberge.com |

 Because it is so important to preserve the Icelandic inheritance of folk-tales, legends and phenomena, I used Iceland's huldufólk and álfar (hidden people and elves) in combination with the real ongoings of the financial crisis as inspiration for a story about the value of wonder. My characters are storytellers and messengers who tell an abstract and poetical story about the crisis with a focus on positive values. Source: www.katrinberge.com |
