Most of the works pictured in this article originate in this art project and have featured in various exhibitions in Norway. The project is based on a critical perspective related to society and to politics and is inspired by one of the seven sacraments of the Catholic Church: the <em>sacrament of penance and reconciliation</em>, also known as the <em>sacrament of</em> <em>confession</em>. My artistic research method will be discussed in relation to the connection between art and religious concepts. My methods will also be discussed in relation to other artists, as well as to the process of making the porcelain sculptures in my studio.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Nordic Journal of Art & Research}, author={Vatn, Gunhild}, year={2022}, month={Oct.} }
