For many years ago a good friend gave me this book about the artsit Henry Darger and I have loved his work ever since. His universe is complex, surrealistic, absurd, grotesque and fantastic beautiful at the same time! In April I’m planning to go to see his work in The American Folk Art Museum in New York. Check him out;

Henry Darger -Wikipedia:

Henry Joseph Darger, Jr. (ca. April 12, 1892 – April 13, 1973) was a reclusive American writer and artist who worked as a custodian in Chicago, Illinois. He has become famous for his posthumously discovered 15,145-page, single-spaced fantasy manuscript called The Story of the Vivian Girls, in What is known as the Realms of the Unreal, of the Glandeco-Angelinnian War Storm, Caused by the Child Slave Rebellion, along with several hundred drawings and watercolor paintings illustrating the story. Darger's work has become one of the most celebrated examples of outsider art.

Oslo City Museum, planning for my exhibition...

I had a great meeting at Oslo City Museum today. My exhibition starts the 19 March; I’m SO excited about it. Here’s some inspiration from the collection in the museum:

Oslo City Museum is now merged with two other museums in Oslo, Intercultural Museum and Oslo Theatre Museum. The new merged museum is called Oslo Museum.

Oslo City Museum, situated at Frogner Manor in Gustav Vigelands park (Frognerparken), is a museum of cultural history with one of the largest collections of paintings in Norway. The history of Oslo is illustrated by thematic exhibitions showing, among other things, the development of Oslo and the city's cultural and commercial activities.

Nomi’s great grandmother’s dresser

This photo is taken by Nina Ruud many years ago. I really love this piece of furniture that my husband got after Marianne his wonderful grandmother in Sweden. Nomi is having this in her new room, I think it will be a perfect match in her new universe of toys, dolls and books that she love.

It would be great to find a nice chair to match this. Any tips?
