Each jar is part of a numbered batch tied to a specific aquarelle. The painting becomes the label. Once a batch is gone, it's gone. Flip a card to see what's inside.
An ongoing series of aquarelles. Each painting measures 10 × 13 cm — a deliberate contrast to the scale of the subject: a large residential complex in Vienna. Each one becomes a label; each label becomes a jar.
No Restraining is a one-person project based in Oslo. The preserves are made in small batches — never more than a dozen jars — using seasonal fruit, real ingredients, and whatever combination of flavors seems right at the time. The paintings come first; the jars follow.
Each batch is tied to one original aquarelle. You get the jar; the painting stays on file. Future collectors' editions may include the original.
No reprint. No second batch. When the inventory bar hits zero, that painting-flavour combination is retired permanently.
Seasonal fruit (Norwegian when possible), cane sugar, citric acid, and occasionally spice. No pectin powder. No filler. No polite flavors.
405 mL glass jars (~400g net content). Label printed on matte stock to match the quality of the original artwork.
