Intro
During one of the last cold days of January we get a hold of Felieke van der Leest over a surprisingly stable Skype connection. Felieke is by the computer in her home studio in Øystese, a small town in Norwegian countryside, situated right by the breathtaking scenery of the Hardanger Fjord. Although it is only a few days before the opening of her big solo exhibition at the CODA Museum in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands, she seems quite calm and relaxed.
