This is the family business that produces steel springs to order. A niche business, owned and run by the Edvardsen family -started in 1967 It´s the only factory in Norway that produces steel springs in sizes 0.2mm to 45mm. Åkrene Fjærfabrikk AS supplies springs to industry, offshore, maritime, the Armed Forces, agriculture, road work, construction, wood processing, mines, tunnels, transport and cars. Production takes place using manual labor and manual machines - from the drawing board to finished steel springs. With this book I want to convey "A Small Piece of Norwegian Industrial History"

I am an artist who explores landscapes through abstract photographs, documents various industrial environments and photograph babies and toddlers under water - living in Norway.
