Laurisilva and Other Wanderings
The series Laurisilva was inspired by and relates to the cloud-like laurel forest on the island of Tenerife. The ocean areas around the islands are cold due to the ocean currents from the southern, cold latitudes. When they reach the northern parts of the Canary Islands, the moisture is captured by the dense vegetation in the mountain sides. The vegetation acts like a sponge, condenses the moisture into large droplets and produces a phenomenon called horizontal rain.

Serien Laurisilva er inspirert av de skyggeaktige skogene på øya Tenerife. Sjøområdene rundt øyene er kalde på grunn av havstrømmene fra de sydlige, kalde, breddegrader. Når de når de nordlige delene av Kanariøyene, fanges fuktigheten av den tette vegetasjonen i fjellsidene. Vegetasjonen agerer som en svamp, kondenserer fuktigheten i store dråper og frembringer et fenomen som kalles horisontalt regn.

Wanderings – Teno Mountains
In the north-eastern part of Tenerife, I went for long walks in the volcanic landscape of the Teno Mountains. There is a parallel between the movements in the terrain and the movements on the paper. They relate to each other both concretely and metaphorically. –Trudi Jaeger
