All that remains

2012-01-05T11:04:00.000-08:00

time to gather all the pieces
time to mend
time to bend
time to lend,
my hands to another era of fractions.
erasing, brushing, smashing, caressing, falling, hitting, mending, polishing
...the humble truth of my imagined reality

New times

2011-09-13T03:19:00.000-07:00

It is a joy being the mother of two but it also takes alot of my creative time. In between cooking, changing dipers I try to read new books. The latest book I read was by Mika Hannula, Allt eller inget (All or nothing) It deal with Critical theory, contemporary art and visual culture a book I truly reccommend.

Further, from the first of October I will be showing and selling my work at Sintra in Gothenburg, Sweden. http://www.sintra.se/

The way forward

2011-05-02T05:30:00.000-07:00

With this new work I aim to make the viewer more aware of the here and now by presenting them to a different and timeless realm of erosion and disintegration.

This is my beginning...

Did we see where we were headed? If we did, would we have changed the direction? I am grasping thoughts here and there and try to gather them, try to direct my path although I hereby prevent myself from unintentional and unexpected happenings. I´ll stop forging my process forward and instead just aswer to the questions raised while exerimenting with the source of inspiration, the craft and the glass.
Peels, skin that peel, orange peel...Peel where could it take me? Behind the obvious into the essence? Of what?

Have a look!

As I have had my hands full, my obligations towards this site have suffered, greatly. This I am making up for, from now on.
Today was a day in the hotshop helping out a collegue. I have been blowing into her ceramic bowls and we were extremely sufficient. It is all part of our preparations for the upcoming exhibition at Kroma, Ronneby, Sweden. We are 20 craftsmen from the island of Bornholm. I will strongly recommend you to take a look at http://www.acab.dk/ (Arts and Crafts Association of Bornholm). Here you will find Glass, Ceramics, Wood, Textiles and a lot more.

Bornholm is an Island dominated by Craft and for more than a century creative artists have moved over here.
We stand solid on the ground, in the mighty wind as we are protected by the cliffs i the West. Rain falls on our tired heads on its way to the sea.

KROma

2010-06-14T13:14:00.000-07:00

My thoughts are very intense at this moment, I am trying to hold on to all the ideas flashing in my mind like lightning. The exhibition at KROma in Blekinge, this September is closing in...The building is fantastic. The space claim ones presence, both physiqally and emotionally. Voices, vibrant and clear resconance within these walls and I do not know how to make this space justice. Can my work be integrated to this vasst amount of air without erasing the perception of ancient voices whispering and caressing these white covered walls? I do belive so. I am breathless and drained. Slowly, so slowly I am filling up, and I aspire to address the legacy of the honarable and humble utters and traces of time dwelling whithin these halls. For now, I rest...

...Remembrances of places lost cast their shadows on us. An inner well, filled with memories, abundance of riches, little secrets waiting to be rediscovered and brought up to the surface. Paper thin layers of distinct patterns are made from powdered and fused enamels, to represent fragments of different recollections and dreams. These are attached hot and placed between layers of transparent glass, creating translucent glass worlds. Here they become visual traces of yesterdays past, trapped in time, for all eternity...
