LINN REBEKKA ÅMO
Bodø
Louis Philippe, Duc d´Orléans, also known as ”le Gros” (the Fat) knight of the Holy Ghost, knight of the Golden Fleece. A well-ordered gentleman. He lived here for a few weeks in 1759. Aside from that fact, there are probably few things he had in common with Linn Rebekka Åmo.
But this is the place where she works: In the Nordland Cultural Centre that was a vicarage at the time the Fat chose to spend time away from the summer heat of Paris. She has established a textile workshop on the loft. She maintains order in her sewing kit, but no Order of the Holy Ghost, nor of the Golden Fleece. She collects, clips, sews and glues. Shapes, colours and composition. A textile worker with the attributes of a painter artist. Educated in Bergen and Trondheim. Her NorlandiaART contribution is found in Babel. Where? In Dronningens Gate, of course. Linn Rebekka Åmo.
