Almost Healthy Cookies

1,5 cup rolled oats
1,5 cup all purpose flour
Some flax seed - 3 table spoons? Grind ones are good
1 tea spoon baking soda
2/3 cup olive oil
3 eggs (not vegan, but haven't figured that one out just yet - buy from someone who keeps hens as pets)
1 cup grind inside of coconut (sorry - do not know what it is called, but it is the white inside of coconut)
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 tea spoon good salt

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl

Put on a baking sheet as cookies and bake until nicely brown 190C - leave on rack to cool

Enjoy!

Just made some, but my food photography is not very good - everything looks like a stew...... I don't know why........ therefore no photo

I'm really looking forward to the opening:))))))) Thank you to Cyan's Britta, Studio Technika and Elise Selj at Rammegalleriet for a lot of help. It all feels pretty fab!

Las Vegas Chrysanthemum Distilled

The series Las Vegas Chrysanthemum started as a graceful, pink chrysanthemum, for me a holy flower, and turned, via rather banal processing into these very artificial pictures. My inspiration is what I think of as a the pinnacle of artificiality - Las Vegas - with its lights, shows, shotgun weddings, drinking and gambling, something I perceive as a living nightmare, based on our unwillingness to deal with life's realities  and a deep sense of greed. 

I do understand why artificiality can attract us; either as an escape, a vacation from life or as a study in what is certainly a rather shady part of the human condition. Still I believe that we lose everything when we remove ourselves from nature, and I do hope we will be able to find ourselves as a part of nature again before it is too late. After all, nature does very well without us, but we can not live without nature.
