In 2009 I made my very first motordriven sculptures. Inspired by a course in mechanics and electronics for female artist run by my friend Harriet Aurell. Check her homepage for courses.
These simple ladies all have their own character due to the imbalance created by their bodies. They are my first employes. Floor cleaning crew…

Beauty is an emotional response. We art touched in our heart. We enjoy.
I am happy to be invited to participate in Very Fun Park where I show 12 Stareyed Flowers.
To walk into a room where flowers dance with you is a joyful and meditative experience. Presence is the key. Your presence in the piece of art. Experiencing through your senses.
This year I was happy to recieve the Art Scholarship of the city of Kiruna !
Apart from honor and money I also got the possiblility of a large retroperspective in the City Hall of Kiruna. I show sculpture, mobiles, drawings in air, weaven paintings and animation. Drop by if you are up north.
The motivation from the jury captured something of the essence of my work: "Ulrika Berges verk tar plats i rummet utan att tränga sig på. Åskådaren bjuds in i den spännande, men samtidigt lugnande oas som växtformerna bildar. Ett välkommet intrång i människovärlden."
In 2012 I got funding from Konstnärsnämnden to explore how sculptures can evolve using motors and mechanics. Several experiments has been going on since then. Most of them small scale. But when I met the creative multitechnician Isak Nordell a larger work started to grow MOTUS ARTIFICALIS. The very first version was shown at Dalslands Konstmuseum in 2014, later reworked to the piece shown here.
Five flowers are connected through a network of roots and cables. Like humans they shift between different ways of being: They turn inwards, close as buds, drawing energy from inside, retreating – or they open wide, available for impressions, blossom with full expression. Life is a dance with different rythms, we turn inward or outward or keep our focus on both at the same time.
They can turn their head, to see what is going on, maybe they turn towards you!
It is intresting how easily we read somthing as alive. Turning your head gives an impression of intention.
