RESHAPED; about stopping for a moment to explore what you have in front of you.

Soloexhibition at 125 Kvadrat in Stockholm, Sweden Aug 29 - Sept 23 2009

I got my material straight from the streets. I have explored,modified, revalued materials and questioned
material values by picking up and letting somethingfrom my everdaylife work in my process. A something
that I never before had given much attention to. It wasstraight under my feet; the gravel, granite, the macadam
and the asphalt. It has been analysed, mixed, refined andset in silver. Through several processes I have squeezed,
pressed and heated them together. Joined in a commonexpression they now take on their new positions, in the
gallery as well as on the body.

A brooch with a small small stone from a backyard ofStockholm, a necklace of gravel linked together from the
streets of Gothenburg, a pendant filled with the blackestof asphalt or a ring with a set stone from London’s Underground.

“Even a small stone from the street has a lot to show for,
if only you care to stay and look”

It was first when I picked up and really looked at it I
could see. All these small small stones that where everywhere
on the ground. One by one you can see that
all stones are very different from each other, all unique
in there own way. A bit like us, in a crowd we are just a
bunch of people but one by one it’s clear that we’re more
or less different from each other.
