Art
I create art as a language beyond words, through painting, collage, land art, ritual, and sometimes poetry. Working with reclaimed materials, pigments, and layered surfaces, I explore how listening, collecting, and transformation can create homes for the unknown. My work enters into dialogue with the spaces it inhabits, honoring the many-layered stories of the earth and its inhabitants.
Creative courses
From my home in Loshult (South Sweden) I offer creative courses for kids and adults. Curiosity, story, experimenting, and listening to materials, the world around us and our own inner worlds are always important in my courses.
