Seasons of Summoning my Grandmother, solo exhibition, November 4 - November 19, Galleri Brandstrup - Satellite Gallery, Oslo 2021
”It is a cliché that, only when people die, you understand how much they have meant to you. But that is how it is, and maybe it was due to the pandemic, and all the talk about being too far away from family which made her appear more and more often in my mind. She was the one who taught me the names of all the flowers that grew on the farm where we lived. Who took me for a wheelbarrow ride in the moonlight. Who took me out on the ice and who, as we laid looking up at the stars, told me that there could be monsters living under it. The laughter, the free thought and the rigor. Everything at once".
The series "Seasons of Summoning my Grandmother” contains 52 drawings in which fragments of personal memories associated with Andreassen's grandmother are transformed into organic symbols. The exhibition, which has been given the same title as the series, also contains several drawings and carved, suspended ceiling paintings, all created over the past year.
In 2024 Seasons of Summoning my Grandmother was purchased by KORO to be a part of the art collection at the new Stavanger University Hospital.
