Shirley's outdoor art installation Jewels of Kvinesdalevokes a utopian, phantasmagoric world inspired by contemporary andancient architecture, science fiction in literature and film, theVest-Agder Nowegian countryside and by Viking era artifacts and history. Theinstallation is composed of handcrafted cast resin, silicone,cement, and clay sculptures of variable sizes (from 40 cm to 5 cm highand wide), architectural spotlights and a heated 9 meters in diametermirror-base. The colorful sculpturesevoke utopian dwellings and fragments of ancient civilizations. Located on theKunstsenter's outdoor stage, it is installed like a miniaturetheater-set staged against the stunning backdrop of the Kvinesdalfjord, viewable from up close and, from a distance from the nearbyhills and valley. The natural surroundings furthertransform the piece thanks to the reflective surface upon which thecast sculptures sit, jewel-like. As the weather around the fjordchanges, so too does the art work's surface, creating aworld-within-a-world in the fjord's vast landscape.
