Siri Aurdal

Although Aurdal was both a graphic designer and painter, her main field was sculpture and work with sculpture. She made her debut at the Høstutstillingen 1961 with a bust of Egil Eggen in brass. After that, she made a number of other busts of famous people, including Earle Hyman (1963) and Svend von Düring and Ludvig Eikaas (1965). In February 1969, she won a competition to decorate schools in Oslo, and in October 1972 presented the sculpture "Havbølger" at Trosterud skole. It was 12 × 6 m glass fibre tubes cut in wavy shapes which serves as a play sculpture for 100 children. In 1979, she made a large relief in aluminium for Abelhaugen train station in Oslo. Aurdal died in Oslo on 31 March 2026, at the age of 88.
