ALEXA'S ELIXIR
Five Giant trolls, three magical portals, 800 birdhouses and a recipe for the elixir to withstand the Golden Rabbit, can all be found in and around the wonderful town of Detroit Lakes in Minnesota.
This is my biggest and most ambitious exhibition of my career. I am so happy to have been given so much trust in my artistic decisions and support from Project 412 and the Detroit Lakes community. I am so very excited to let you taste what’s been stirred up in Alexa’s cauldron!

Alexas brewing up the elixir to help the little people
The elixir consist of five different ingredients:
- A handful of chirps from some happy birds!
- A tree planted.
- The laughter from a stranger.
- A mile walked with bare feet.
- A story about someone you love.
Alexa knows how to get the happy chirps herself, but for the other ingredients the other trolls, Jacob Everear, Barefoot Frida, Long Leif and Ronny Funny Face will help you collect them, and if your lucky you might find enough to offer some to The Golden Rabbit!
