A consistent thread throughout his childhood was flight … things\, people\, animals – anything that could fly\, starting with Dumbo when he was three. Then it was birds\, seagulls and most especially raptors…like eagles\, osprey\, even vultures. Wings that could flap and fold intrigued him\, led him into mechanical engineering\, airplane design and eventually into folded metal sculpture and paper folding\, i.e.\, origami. One of his proudest accomplishments was participation on the team that developed a lunar roving vehicle at Grumman Aerospace Corporation. \nWith credentials from Rensselaer and Yale\, he worked at places like Grumman\, IBM and Rhode Island School of Design\, and also at The Art Barge one summer in Napeague. Nils’ origami caught the attention of East Hampton and Sag Harbor gallerists at Crazy Monkey\, Pamela Williams\, Chase Edwards and Julie Keyes who showed and sold his large\, small elegant abstract origami pieces over the years. \nWe are pleased and honored to present Nils’ artwork here at Trygve Lie Gallery in Manhattan\, New York.
