happy Greetings to you from me with this little party-dream!
… you have to do the best of the situation in these corona times…

😉
MARIE TOWARDS A NEW HAPPY YEAR!

… listening to understand, painting to know!
… you have to do the best of the situation in these corona times…
I BELIVE WE ARE MANY REMEMBERING ANOTHER HAPPY NEW YEAR WHEN WE ALL COULD BE TOGETHER
🙂
OK, if I can play – as pretending – that I am a smart space-chicken!
… with my own spaceship, then i can cope with it!
There is already some kind of fashion-vibes on these face-things!
YOU´VJUST HAVE TO to find you´r own way in this contagious atmosphere, to make you´r mind accept it… for the moment there is no other choice. I really do think that this is just a begining of a type of living, for the moment we find it very difficult but somewhere in the future this in some way will be the normal. I am thinking specially at the divine antibiotics that in the rather soon future will lose it´s effect… maybe this will be, in a more development way, the alternative to that scenario! I believe that in the future, like in 10 years, people will look back at these times an feel horrified that we closed down nearly everything… I think it is absolutely urgent to start up all activities.. as in NOW… and it is absolutely urgent to design very comfortable protection alternativs… that people can cope with… find a way to be normal in!
… last night I painted, Lolita has got her face back… what a process!! …and as many close said to me: – put away the board!
I didn’t – put away the board – so now it remains to be seen if this face holds, if I have found the right one! I kind of believe it, although it might not be possible to trust, hmmm …
OBS: there is one 12 minutes long version of COURAGE upcoming
“Courage” is dedicated to Mr Lennart Larsson, who is a great art lover, patron and a very good friend to both Bengt and me.
“Courage” speaks to me, every time I pas it… sometimes I believe that some kind of spirit has moved in… or maybe it never left… it only left the quarry when Bengt moved the sculpture to Mölndal.
I want to mention that Bengt received the French, very highly regarded – A Knight Of The Order Of Arts And Letters – 2017.
The French Embassy
“CHEVALIER DE L’ORDRE DES ARTS ET LETTRES”
David Cvach, Ambassadeur de France awarding the medal.
Bengt is receiving the very highly regarded – a French honorary title as a recognition of “significant contributions to the enrichment of the French cultural inheritance”
… it has been a long session!
… with many thoughts and sketches – for about three years. – how to portrait Bengt in the most truful way -relevant to my experience!
titel: Deep Dives
COLLAGE-presentation of parts of Zeppa-Creations. This work makes an important existentiell balance for me towards my painting – where I always move around in the “deep” – creating clothes gives me a wonderful surface… where there is easy to be!
… or not to speak… It is a global language. It is so fascinating – all different ways – from the simplest to the most complex! It is wonderful, fun and ingenious. I think that we are rather unconscious concerning the dress-perspective, in general… despite all the fashion and consuming.

sketches for dance-costume
I loved to do these sketches – I made a lot – never shown them before – my interest for fabrics and clothing began with this mission, 2013.
it became a doorway – a renewed way to think body&room – new insights
link to the development:
Surface… a blessing for the balance!
And this magic fabrics… that speaks and tell… impossible to resist!
Thank you, all… at Uddevalla theater for your kind assistance!
Everyone is in a hurry… who gives time to watch, to follow a slowmotion act?
Thank you Malgorzata for letting us use your moving light as a tool.
The blue moving body-light is a 3D animation created by architect and digital artist Malgorzata Zboinska of Morfotactic Lab. For more information, visit:

“GESTALTAS ERFARENHETER SOM RYMMER ALLT FRÅN KÄRLEK OCH SYSTERSKAP TILL UTSATTHET OCH VÅLD.

[KONSTHALLEN]
This movie specifically describes my experience of Moa Israelsson´s cocoons !
“Moa Israelssons konstnärskap rör sig ofta i gränslandet mellan fiktion och verklighet, hennes skulpturer liknar föremål vi känner till, men är tillverkade av andra material och dimensioner än vi är vana vid.
Israelssons installation Go, Gone består av tio skulpturer i olika storlekar som hänger från taket. Skulpturerna är formade som stora sovsäckar, mjuka och till synes slitna av yttre åverkan. Stoppningen är synlig och materialet är fläckat, som om det legat ute under lång tid och bearbetats av tidens gång. De omsorgsfullt handsydda skulpturerna vittnar om en stilla vila. Tryggheten sömnen inger, men också sårbarheten. Tyget blir då ett försvar, ett lager mellan kroppen och världen som skyddar och värmer mot det som sker utanför. Verkets titel Go, Gone antyder att något gått förlorat och får sovsäckarna att likna tomma skal. Det enda som återstår är minnet av det som en gång funnits. Samtidigt inger den uppmanande titeln också ett hopp om att lämna förlusten bakom sig och gå vidare, att bli fri, och precis som puppan i en kokong förvandlas och pånyttfödas.
Materialvalet, silke och läder, förstärker känslan av skulpturerna som kokonger, skapade av naturen snarare än syntetiskt framställda av människan. Det är från just silkeskokongen som silkestråden utvinns. De två materialen silke och läder är båda organiska naturmaterial, men samtidigt varandras ytterligheter. Där det ena är ömtåligt och skirt, är det andra tåligt, slitstarkt och grovt. Kontrasten mellan materialen, det skira och mjuka, det grova och smutsiga, bidrar till en känsla av sällsamhet och förfrämligande: föremålen känns bekanta men samtidigt underliga.
Go, Gone, 2019-2020, 10 skulpturer, olika dimensioner, silke och läder.”

This blog post is about my desire to think positively, to look ahead… It´s simply an artist looking at her surroundings and thinking… damn corona! How wonderful it will be when it is over! Many people have been invested at different levels of energi in this project below.
I do care… and I do love to express it!

I can see myself asking friends (in Swedish) “Ska vi träffas på Vävaren?”
😉
… and I will tell you more about that another time!
SO FUN TO DO – CUT – JUST ON A FEELING!
Vi får corona-vänta lite med nästa träff… men när det blir, oj vad kul att se vad för kläder Blixten och Ella kommer att få! Jag är såå nyfiken … längtar att få se!
Många Kramar till er ifrån DragonVille!
OH… how fun it will be to see what sort of cloths you both will make – to dress Blixten and Ella – I am so curios… longing to see!
Many hugs to you from DragonVille!

artist Bengt Olson. See if you can follow, listen and take in the essence of this sculpture for about 16 minutes. Just sit back and relax!

TODAY… I think I will die if I get Covid-19… probably not alone in this thoughts. But anyway… if… I hope to go in an enlightened pink dream…
That fear turns in to courage!

to go in an enlightened pink dream.
work in progress
two trousers in different fabrics became this top… because it became to strange, I looked like a pink S:t Claus,
the Christmas guy! 🙂
... my first encounter with the ritual of society ... I am looking at my godmother who has handed me over to this strange omission - foreign power - not scary, just very strange. ... what transformations we go through in life, both bodily and in the personality! ... even though the higher self is intact and untouched! The core of the self is in the photo... exactly the same core as now in grown up life. Wonder what happens with that core when it leaves all the layers of personality?!

This is about Artificial Intelligence … it’s about what’s coming, which is actually already here, even though we don’t really see it yet … but we soon will.
For My part, a robot artist has already walked in … one who even thinks that I should work as her assistant … DUH!!
… it’s both humorous but also a bit brutal,
it’s like no ordinary pick-nick… so to speak!
PS: this post is a sketch, the beginning of a project!
