Exhibition, Galleri Anna H / Utställning på Galleri Anna H
I’ve been so of the track with keeping the news flow up. Since last time, I’ve done several workshops and I did my solo show at Anna H Gallery in Gothenburg. Which was nice and did well. All the new pictures / objects I put up in the gallery part. jag har varit så himla…
Doing some weaving / Håller på att väva lite
A friend is moving and will never ever weave again. But there’s this loom with 15 meter ragrug-warp. I said I do it – So now I have to weave about four new rag-rugs. Haven’t done it for thirty years, but all the knowledge is still there. It’s so much fun! En väv som flyttar har en…
To express oneself in a material/ att uttrycka sig i ett material

The final bigger piece about to get ready. The “Nighttime sky” part. I chose to do it in a different way, squares that I sew together and then cut apart, turning the stripes up and down for every second row and then sew them together again. This I repeat a couple of times. Each time,…
