Me with my closet
Hey!
Friend! My name is Thomas Sivertsen and you are cordially invited to my artistically pretentious storytime!
One upon a time there was (and still is) a collection of 667 islands and reefs south of Bergen, called Austevoll. I grew up on one of these islands, surrounded by fishermen and footballers.
I guess I found myself reaching for something deeper, so I cultivated gardens in my mind, hardened by the salt air.
I´m not sure if the closet softened or toughened me, maybe both, in different ways, but I´m steady now, and I believe I found my voice.
With a Masters degree in Furniture and Interior Architecture under my belt, and a passion for storytelling, I find myself reaching for artistic endeavours and colours to be heard. This way I could be loud and bold.
Like the rest of us, I would occasionally find some pieces of myself that had chipped off and broken along the way, not really sure where they had once belonged, then I found stained glass. I realised that it really felt like home, like my hands already knew the broken glass, and the colours felt familiar.
In some pretentious, poetic way I realised that the broken could be beautiful, that the breakable, however fragile, could be sturdy, once again.
And that´s how the light shines in, isn´t it?
Get in touch.
Maybe you have a custom project you´d like me to take a look at, a story for yourself you’d like to tell, or maybe you just have a question for me? Either way, I´m just an e-mail away, but you can also reach out to me on my social media! Don´t be a shy.
