Earth Creative Curator Conversations: Steve Jensen

Join curator Jodie Nelson on a captivating journey with Steve Jensen, whose sculptural works take us on voyages into the seas, waterways, forests, and mountains he’s encountered over the past 30 years. Coming from a long tradition of Norwegian fishermen and boat builders, he transforms life’s most poignant experiences into provocative thought vessels. We unravel Steve’s acclaimed series Böts and its storied boat metaphors. We dive into a deep vibe of solitude in The Ice is Melting, a favorite of mine among his cast sculptures. Inside the peak of the sculpture’s thick carved glass swirls, there floats a single transparent glass bottle filled with water - and potent message for us all.
Highlights you’ll love:
▸ The connection between the design of his cast glass Böts and his Norwegian roots.
▸ Boats as real and symbolic vessels for journeys into the unknown.
▸ Perspective on the state of our environment as shaped by his family’s legacy.
