2011, Painted versions of existing pictures of water (watercolor)

Painted versions of water, made in scale 1:1 according the representational pictures that I collected from different contexts and purposes. Made in watercolor, approx 3×10 cm each).

2011, Drawing and sound piece sculpture

A sculptural body with the size of a lying human, with a topographically paper landscape and drawings of vulcanic craters (like holes seen from above) inside of it. The sound piece, a whisper, gave a metaphoric connection to the feeling of lost. “It is hard to demand that everything should remain standing…” (in Swedish). The drawings was about 7,5×10 cm each.

2011, Seven clocks left after grandpa

Seven clocks left after grandpa when he died, the third of january 2011, 03.15. A life line seen trough his reliance to time and abstract system. Only the last one that he had when he died was running, and did so until exactly one month after the time of his death. Time is now definitely over.

2010, Installation of 13 drawings, each 40 x 50 cm

Drawing installation from the NASA’s satellite photos of Eyjafjallajökull’s vulcano eruption at Island 2010 (paper size A2). Pictures of reality seen from earth, translated into drawings. Each paper/drawing represented a date from the documented process, and made their own systematic composition throughout the papers as a collection (seen from left to right). A duration just like a time based movement within the drawing, like a repetition of the eruption, enhanced with calender pages on the floor. The hanging position created the same relation to the viewer as the one that the satellite had when observing the process of the living vulcano. The distance and the feeling of abstraction in relation to it was my interest, both within the drawings and the following and repeating of the phenomena that controlled the whole world but never really became close to us. More or less a spectacle, a fascinating force of nature with great visuality.

2010, A drawn tree inside a paper role.

The outside becomes an inside, and the paper keeps the look of the history inside.

2010, Drawing collection (tree tops) 21 x 5 cm

Drawing of the very top of trees. Presented hanging from the roof in a position/height that was just enough to reach. Not more, not less.

If everything would be in reach, I would probably find myself as a dreamer.

2009, Painted sculpture and sound installation

A nest, in human scale, prepared with a sound that was triggered of passers-by. The sound was a collaboration with Carolina Nylund that recalled the sounds of dissonans when electronic irritates each other.

2008, tables drawings

Nine drawings with an absurd twist on everyday environments and objects. Together they were presented on top of rebuilt bottom parts of chairs, like a distorted flock that forced the viewer into the same close and concentrated position as the drawing process itself demands.

2010, Printed text glued on the floor, 3,04 m long

When a city can move 3,04 m everything becomes relatively in a strange way. Suddenly the references changes position and a place turns into an other. The question whether it is the same place or a new one, and how to relate to it then, was things that resulted in this work; a text piece. Some sort of a philosophical reflection of the change that the power of earth contributed with, that had the exactly same length and direction (western direction) as the real move of the city Concepción (Chile) during the eathquake 2010.

EN HEL STAD GAV SIG AV. EN HEL STAD LÄT SIG PÅMINNAS OM ATT LEVANDE MASSA KRÄVER RÖRELSE. EN HEL STAD LÅTSADES SEDAN SOM OM INGET HADE HÄNT. SLOG SIG BARA NER 3,04 M BORT.

(eng. trans.) AN ENTIRE CITY MOVED. AN ENTIRE CITY LET ITSELF RECALL THAT LIVING MASS DEMANDS MOVEMENT. A WHOLE CITY THEN PRETENDED AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. JUST SETTLE DOWN 3.04 M AWAY.
