Collaboration

I make prints in addition to studying rocks and doing teaching and outreach. My father (Jan Svensen) was a painter and printmaker and I inherited his press and equipment in 2019.

The techniques I use include woodcut, linocut, photopolymer etching, and drypoint/etching. Here you can see some of my projects and prints, and find information about exhibitions. I also use my photography in my outreach, for instance in my last books (Et land av stein, 2022), focusing on how I as a geologist view rocks and the changes taking place at the surface of the Earth.

I collaborate with artists interested in geoscience. The projects vary from long-lasting interactions, to meetings, discussions, guided tours, book projects, and writing essays related to the interface between geology and art. See below (“Collaboration”) for examples.
