The earth in fields at Fogelstad was rich in clay. Maren Holebakk was a student at the Women’s Barn and Livestock School at Fogelstad and then stayed at Fogelstad all her life. She came to work as a barn foreman, and a teacher at the Women’s Barn and Livestock School. She was also an artist, and brought home clay from the fields when she was out working. From the clay, she sculpted portraits of people she came in contact with at Fogelstad, friends, mistresses, co-workers, refugees who lived on the farm during the war, participants from the Womens’ Citizen school at Fogelstad, and above all of the students who attended the Women’s Barn and Livestock School. Maren did not to burn her sculptures as she preferred the feeling and quality of the unburnt.
