As a token of appreciation for my recent success with regards to art, the Mayor of Flesberg Municipality (where I grew up), Egil Langgaard and a representative of the council and the local painting club, Gudveig Førlie decided to visit me in my dad’s studio in Lyngdal and give me an award and some flowers on behalf of the municipality council. Langgaard expressed interest in acquiring one of my paintings for the council collection, and they made me promise to get in touch for a lecture on the topic of my dissertation - creativity and individual filtering. I will try my very best to keep my promise some time next spring if possible.
I did not in fact know that Langgaard has been Mayor for a 4 year period now, as I have been away for over 10 years. So when we spoke on the phone before the meeting, I told him that the last time I saw him was in 9th grade at secondary school. He used to be a teacher back then, and he taught me how to drive a motorcycle. He told me that he still sometimes teach.
