The lecture past present future is visual presentation into a glass artist's way of thinking and expressing; an insight to how my work evolve - from an abstract thought or feeling into an art object in glass, textile or other materials. At the same time it is a journey in an inspiring winter landscape and the Sami culture. I finish this lecture with images of the technical process to make my glass art. 30 minutes - 1½ hour Other titles of lectures: Please contact me to discuss fees, travel and accommodation arrangements. I am open to any suggestions of lectures or other educational activities for children and adults. I have a pedagogical university degree from earlier years which help me in the formation of official and pedagogical assignments.

Giles Sutherland reports from this Landscape and Nature Conference, which brought together artists working in glass and other materials from around the world in 'Northings - Highlands & Islands Arts Journal' 2003: "....In a programme so diverse and exciting it's perhaps unfair to pick out a 'star', but for my money the most compelling talk was Monica Edmondson's account of her Sami ancestry in northern Sweden and how deeply imbedded cultural traditions (on the brink of oblivion only a few years ago) were informing her work as a contemporary glass artist. The sense of snow, light, darkness, sound and colour
of these vast circumpolar spaces suffused her work (with glass as an
ideal medium for such expression). Bold and subtle, ancient and
contemporary, Edmondson's work bridged the seemingly unbridgeable gap
between traditional and modern cultures...." |
