recent sights

Took my youngest daughter, Rosa, to the National museum in Stockholm to see three of the
creations from one of the competitions of Project Runway Sweden. It was meant to be a cosy mother-daughter evening out, but we ended up almost missing the whole thing, due to my totally underestimating the time it would take to get there. We had to grab a taxi from the Central station and made it there just before closing time... We raced up, grabbed a glass each of sparkly water, looked at the three dresses and... left. Rosa, 13 years old, was not impressed. 

I'm taking part of a small exhibition arranged by an art society, Konstföreningen Botvid. The other three artists are Carina Sohl, pattern printed leather; Carl-Erik Ström, photography and Eva Kai Larsen, ceramic tiles. The exhibition is on for another weekend at Villa Skönvik, Rönninge. Open Saturday and Sunday 12 - 16.

What a Girl Can Do

Paper cup and saucer made for Swedish company Kinnarps. Will eventually be seen in a business presentation of some sort, of which I've been promised a copy. Which will be posted here eventually...

Look at the stunning work made by cardboard artist Daniel Agdad!

I realized I never posted pictures from the beautiful catalogue that has been made for the Slow Art exhibition – so here are my two spreads and a small selection of my personal favourites (the list could be much longer – but I don't want to post the whole book here).

The exhibition at Nationalmuseum continues until February 3rd 2013, so there's still time to see it :) and to buy the catalogue!

recent press

I'm very proud to be featured in these two Swedish magazines, Hemslöjden and VI! Magazines I really enjoy reading myself, with interesting articles and diverse content.

all boxed up and ready to go

 Daily Thistles mounted inside the wooden box, with the glass front in place. For the Math department.

KOOM! POOM! ZAK! Spiderman vs Owl in Good Defeats Evil. The inside is lined with black paper and all pieces are in place. This one is for the children's books department. Both boxes are public commission work for Gottsunda library, Uppsala.

good defeats evil

Spiderman vs Owl in Good Defeats Evil is the content of the second box I've made for the new library at Gottsunda, Uppsala. It consists of two teacups, a small teapot and a sugar bowl. The pinkish "plate" is a background. Pics of the finished boxes in the next post! I'm delivering the two boxes tomorrow...
