1997-98
This painting represents the year 1997-1998 – it was so wonderful to do – lots of drive – lots of insight and loads of humour. It represents a restart in life, which started right then.
title: “Letter From Diana”
– an insight lands within the Phantom… he receives a letter from Diana – (which is actually his inner Femina part that suddenly starts communicating with him) – which makes him gain full insight into himself – actually he goes through a gigantic development.
(buy the way, this painting is for sale)
1998 – in progress – part of the painting – at that time – a lot has happened since then.
1998 – My offspring – The Phantom is the father of this little soul-reflecting man!
The Eagle Has Landed – Phantom-baby Armstrong
it should look like print but it’s not. These works worked very detailed with mixed with, different papers, pencil and pastel.

Letter from Diana – has stayed in my studio since 1997, during these years until today, it has only been shown for 3 weeks at the Mölndals Museum, about 9 years ago, the same time as the book fair in Gothenburg. Somehow the painting got talked about and the Fantomen club (which was at the book fair) contacted the museum and would like to meet the artist. So, of course I had to stand up – was very shy – had to declare my love for a paper man, a cartoon character to a group of men… I had their undivided attention, strange and funny somehow!

I am on a constant inner journey – my craft knows its way… and I just follow along. How could I find a treasure chest, just like that!?

“Barbara” – recurring drawings between 2002-2006
In the last phase of terror
I was by post getting cut pieces off my paintings. It was extra heavy the day a package fell in containing a doll with dried out eyes, severed hands – what do you do with such things – I went to a priest, and asked if he could take care of it, just in case that something happened. It took 4 years to restore life, desire and happiness.
I became a kind of warrior – digital work mixed with sculpture
the impact it all had on my work
MY art – my visual world completely disappeared – somehow I eventually got everything out of the apartment I lived in – all the black, all the whips, skeletons, barbed wire and other things – I don’t remember how , but somehow it happened.
Thanks to my father, I had this apartment to both live and work in – as everything was gone, both work and clothes, I would find a new form to exist. I found a pair of military pants and a black leather jacket in a basement (can’t remember which one) – bought a pair of rough hiking shoes – and that became my outfit for 3 years – summer, autumn, winter and spring. It was tough – I love clothes, playing with the outside, make-up, poofing and puffing – but I put all that on the shelf – I became a kind of warrior. I got help in getting a little friend – a Yorkshire terrier – named Ida – She was probably sent from heaven, I actually think so… she opened the window to life & play again
In order to survive, I started teaching – art – at the community school.
self portrait : mixed media – a window right into my being for the moment – Cardboard glued to wood – chalk, charcoal, collage – 100 x 130 cm
For a couple of years it was just lines all over the walls, lines and more lines… I realized I was trying to understand the air around me – very primitive – very intuitive – extremely serious – I was struggling to regain my understanding of my existence.
AND SO IT HAPPENED!
A completely magical vibrating night, I gave birth to a visual language – I call this my image-letters!
These images are like molecules in my paintings … my paintings are based in structure on various combinations of these – it is a kind of DNA code that has become visible.
1991
I was asked to make an interior design and one of the picture-letters developed and became the center of the entire interior design work – it’s a bit fun to show it here in this context
The Core
This became the core of my work – art and interior design at Evas Paley – 1991 – avenue/Gothenburg of my work
1994
And the picture-letter continued – it became a collection that I call the Linné group – all with, just for this picture designed frame gold leaf – with logo.
Think – what a creative night can bring!

So, what a fantastic day we had – the last wonderful summer days – and then this fantastic Millesgården. How could I never have been there?? It was my first time and I was amazed at all the beauty, care and work that went into the farm to preserve it for everyone. They also have a great lunch restaurant, lovely view where we took a break… yummy, what a day! The art gallery was very nice, where the exhibition +++ was taking place. In the film clip below, you can glimpse some of the impressions.

Why do we have such a hard time accepting differences – I wonder – do we want everyone to be the same shape? How do we get our brains to choose wonder instead of judgement?
So longing – today for my painting “Lolita Express”!
Maybe – when I finish ongoing projects – that I go and recreate Lolita – in all the forms she became on one and the same canvas… but many canvases as figures.
Lost Virgin: oil on canvas – approx: 140x 100 cm 1980
Isn’t it the case that there is a lost innocence/virgin in each of us – painful sadness – something significant given that was not recognized – everyone is right in their interpretation of Lost Virgin.
Once I tried to buy back – Lost Virgin – but lo and behold it didn’t work!
Unfortunately, there are many “lost Paintings” from this time zoon – but here are some who made it, a selection!
I chose in this school of my own to still depict events, feelings and thoughts – it became a type of surrealism – as I see it this way in retrospect.

I was very focused on what the truth really is about reality alert to leakage – perceived some kind of spiritual help – to see – while not really knowing a bit about the origin of that help.
I moved away from home shortly after I turned 17 – not because I was ready for it, but because I couldn’t stand the facade of a family that no longer existed.
The world, us – social structures, people, nature – earthly existence scared me so extremely – and actually still does!
oil on canvas, 200×100 cm 1981
The unique fame that Leonardo enjoyed in his lifetime and that, filtered by historical criticism, has remained undimmed to the present day rests largely on his unlimited desire for knowledge, which guided all his thinking and behaviour. An artist by disposition and endowment, he considered his eyes to be his main avenue to knowledge; to Leonardo, sight was man’s highest sense because it alone conveyed the facts of experience immediately, correctly, and with certainty. Hence, every phenomenon perceived became an object of knowledge, and saper vedere (“knowing how to see”) became the great theme of his studies. He applied his creativity to every realm in which graphic representation is used: he was a painter, sculptor, architect, and engineer. But he went even beyond that. He used his superb intellect, unusual powers of observation, and mastery of the art of drawing to study nature itself, a line of inquiry that allowed his dual pursuits of art and science to flouris
When the plague ravaged Europe, when the witch hysteria was boiling in Europe, then Leonardo da Vinci went out and reflected, interpreted and sketched. That’s what I do, but in an updated way. My youtube posts are exactly the same as his sketching. It’s an artistic process – after a while, something – I don’t know what – will come out of it!
I don’t think the presentation we generally get of reality matches what reality is!
And I think the word conspiracy theories is used way too much, it gets thrown out as soon as something describes something that the mainstream hasn’t embraced – is the mainstream god?
We must question, we must wonder… otherwise we are a bunch of sheep’s skulls!
More and more people believe that the fire was started – with some advanced “tool” – it doesn’t match with an ordinary fire – trees remains in the middle of houses that are completely charred.

The first day at summer vacation!
Rörvik/Näset – in a turquoise self-made dress – my school exam before graduation – I wanted to be a designer. So ambitious. It was an intensive year of home sewing – advanced long coat – suit overall and a lot of other things. It was like that for a while, a year, but at 15 everything collapsed.
I went in to eliminate my wardrobe – it was a big act – of an unconscious kind, it was on pure primal force, intuition and without me realizing at the time – the beginning of my artistry.
Early drawing. In some way, in retrospect, it seems to be a bit about rebelling, dressing up and playing roles…speaking of the difficulty I went through with my wardrobe!
And when I now look a little closer – heaven – it looks like the front figure, the girl in the hat, in triumph puts her foot on a knocked out individual – has she killed? I actually don’t remember. The picture at first looks like child’s play, but on a closer look there is a terrible drama in the picture.
Difficult time - 6 years of much thinking, much wondering -
besides existential musings, I know that even dark, haunted things for me, things I’ve seen, experienced that didn’t belong in “furnished rooms”. Deep revolt against family traditions - things that were boring, without true presence, things that just repeated themselves as an eternal pattern. The parents' marriage began, behind the scenes, to fall apart, and it colored us all.
I had many thoughts about how to be, how to want to be… created ideals!
… many thoughts about human qualities – I was very attentive to how people acted, interacted… I learned a great deal by watching. I spoke very little – some almost never heard my voice, during these years, except absolutely the closest friends.
After these years in a vacuum, I went home to my mother in the countryside – Månstad – where I arranged for my first studio in the basement – I was 21.
I really had a lot to catch up on, in terms of discipline & diet. Forest and magic were outside the house – it provided the nourishment needed to manifest the will.
I did a kind of a Banksy.

I wish I could film more – funnier – deeper – but I put a brake on myself out of respect for the other guests… so therefore it’s a bit tight description of Martin´s beautiful paintings.
But it’s still something
I interpret Marin’s paintings as an expression of memories – safe memories – which perhaps also hide a few things – facades – Probably it is up to the viewer – to remember. I haven’t spoken to Martin about my reflections … so I don’t know if it matches his intentions.

REACH OUT OUTSIDE THE COMFORT ZONE
On the 23rd I’m going to Stockholm – staying there for a few days – going to see Martin Wickström’s fantastic work of art! It will be so interesting and exciting – you can’t compare a photo of art to seeing it in real life. I am looking forward to the stay in beautiful Stockholm!
We participate in Biennale ‘Begegnung Mit Pirosmani” – together in 2012 – also with swedish artist Meta Isaeusberlin – at National Museum of Tbilisi, in Georgia.
I found this interesting presentation, 4 years old, but it’s like yesterday.
I will see Martin’s art in the company of a family member – Oliver Cederquist – https://www.instagram.com/oviler.oviler/– who is a fantastic cartoonist and also a sighted person – who deeply appreciates looking at other people’s work – it will be great fun!
I was married
I have told it to few!
I thought he was “Robbin Hod” – but he wasn’t.
He was a killer.
I was married – for three months – to a, in Europe – blacklisted “warrior” (there is another name for such). It was bad years both before and after that short marriage.
I have lived with a man who checked for bombs every time he moved – anywhere – under the car – in the home – on the street.
In short – I had to flee to survive – my whole family had to go to a hiding place – security at the highest level was engaged – to avoid unwanted algorithms – There is much to tell, but this is enough – just to grasp the artistic expression during these years. As this man destroys, shreds much of my work there is not much to see of it.
Regarding my work – My colors disappeared
I usually repress this chapter in my life – regarding my work – that period is actually an important part, it has influenced my movement strongly and deeply, it has left a mark on my artistic expression.
Lolita Express – 2018 – 2.40 x 1.40 – oil on canvas (since painted over) I realized a couple of days after this post, the track from the time – 1982 – to kind of present 2018.
Around this life situation – my colors disappeared – I could only paint in black – I went to old barns in the country, where I found very old leather objects – such as saddles, whips, military jackets – animal skeletons, many skeletons – yes everything possible – My wardrobe was empty of clothes but full of thorn, old military whips and skeletons – I collected!
I worked with the collected material – on boards – using nails and glow.
Between the time I was 26-29 years old.
Trapped Warrior – material: paper mache. hemp cord – horse hair – paper glued to masonite – nail – acrylic
Trapped Warrior
How it came about
Trapped Warrior is one of those that has disappeared This object has a very special creation history – magical genesis – I was enchanted!
The Gothenburg Museum’s ethnographic collections and the Gothenburg Ethnographic Museum were in Ostindiska huset until 1993. Now the ethnographic collections are located in Världskulturmuseets at Korsvägen, since December 2004.
1973-95 Kjell Zetterström, acting Director
Gothenburg – 1981/82 -such an ordinary day, gray clouds and rain. I was determined to get myself a study of “that shrunken head” which I knew was in the Ethnographic Museum. It turned out that Museum was closed – so disappointed – knocked on impulse, and was both happy and surprised when the big gate opened – there was a man who told me: The museum is closed for renovation. I expressed my disappointment, said that I wanted so badly to see that shrunken head that I knew they had… whereupon he introduced himself as the head of the museum – (I understand in retrospect that it must have been Kjell Zetterström) he pondered a bit… and then he said: all the halls are empty, but it just so happens that that particular head is the only one that is left, come in and I will show you. I felt blessed!
Zetterström led the way up to the 2nd floor, opened a tall double door. The room – long high ceiling, completely covered in sand colored protective paper – with an object placed in the middle – a pedestal with a glass dome – and there was the head on a “stick”. It was a spectacular sight. While circling the pedestal with super intense gaze – imprinted the dark figure in the dome (didn’t have a camera). Zetterström began to tell in detail about the two warriors who fought each other in the jungle, how the head-skin of the defeated man was prepared with hot stones. The lips were sewn together so that the killed man would not be able to come back to take revenge.
I went straight home – got out papier-mâché – clamped some steel wire and started to create – it was magical – there in my hands the head grew – the warrior appeared at my house exactly as he looked in the museum – I was completely enchanted. It felt like I redeemed him by seeing him – he became free, while I shared his dark destiny.
The quality of the photo is poor, but I am grateful that it exists. This work has been stolen it may be in France. I wish the object came back to me, so I could choose a place for it myself.
Death Rood
Death Road – Materials: leather military jackets – rabbit skull – riding whips – hemp cord. nail – horseshoe filling
I drew the image of myself – while I was sitting in a cafe with a croissant.
If I could get a moment to myself – I wrote letters that I secretly sent home, all texts somehow coded, so that it was up to the recipient to interpret.

1979 – Jag åkte till Paris med endast en 100-lapp i fickan! Jag hade hittat/skapat en mecenat – trodde jag!
Genom min resa till Paris, kan man säga att jag hittade min vilja – eller kanske det var min vilja som hittade hittade mig! Min vilja visade sig för mig och jag blev medveten om en fantastisk kraft inombords. Sen är det ju så att viljan tog mig inte dit jag ville… den tog mig på en helt annan väg. Förmodligen så speglade min vilja en verklighet som jag måste se, för att ta mig vidare.
Viljan är klok, den visar jaget vägen… och vägen är allt annat än rak!
1979 – I went to Paris with only a 100 note in my pocket! I had found/created a patron – I thought!
Through my trip to Paris – 79 – you could say I found my will – or maybe it was my will that found found me! My will appeared to me and I became aware of an amazing power within. THEN it’s the case that the will didn’t take me where I wanted… it took me on a completely different path. Probably my will reflected a reality that I have to face, to move on.
The will is wise, it shows the self the way… and the way is anything but straight!
Jag hade inga finskor så jag fick – av den kvinnan som hade hand om alla “missarna” – dessa skor att bära till balen. Skorna bars av dem när de visade upp sig i baddräkten.
I didn’t have nice shoes, so I was given – by the woman who took care of all the “misses” – these shoes to wear to the ball. The shoes were worn by them when they showed up in the bathing suit.
This event, this trip symbolizes – for me – the freedom to move independently – to have no mental barriers, to possess a strong will – to move without fear in this world – even though it looks absolutely impossible!
.To be in one’s core – to live the core – to do the core!
Swedish
Denna händelse, denna resa symboliserar- för mig – friheten att röra sig självständigt – att inte ha några mentala hinder, att ha en stark vilja – att röra sig utan rädsla i denna värld – trots att det ser helt omöjligt ut!
Att vara i sin kärna – att leva sin kärna – att göra sin kärna!
This is a work that was created after my return – a kind of reflection – on the adventures, the meetings, the energies. I had encountered the will to succeed in myself, but also the reluctance to compromise my values.

This is Hello, Computer, a series of interviews carried out in 2023 at a time when artificial intelligence appears to be going everywhere, all at once.
Jonas Ivarsson is a professor of informatics. He started in cognitive science and communication studies before moving to education. In 2013 he became a professor of education, where his research focused on the role of various technologies in developing knowledge and competence. In 2019 he moved to Informatics at the Department of Applied Information Technology at the University of Gothenburg. There, his role is to take the lead on the emerging research on Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence—a specific approach to the interplay between humans and machines in the context of artificial intelligence. Central to this approach are questions relating to how to design AI systems to operate in the context of human users and how to design learning trajectories of humans so that they can intelligently interact with increasingly complex semi-autonomous systems. His strategic leadership background includes serving as deputy head of department as well as research dean at the faculty of education. He has served at the board of the University of Gothenburg and as a member of the university’s coordination group for digitalisation and artificial intelligence. The government has appointed Ivarsson to serve on the advisory Ethics Council of the Swedish Migration Agency. Ivarsson is an experienced project leader and currently operates as principal investigator of the research project ’Professional Trust and Autonomous Systems’ funded by Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation

There are no words for the feeling, the pleasure of being close to the see, the senses of the beach and the water… listening to the waves… love it! I think it is the best of relaxing moments for the soul.
Seriously… so much to say, to think and to share!
Saving the holiday to remember in dark wintertimes, preparing for the hard working life, feeling grateful, humble and happy!

Finished portrait today! – oil on canvas.
Thanks… is not enough! Lennart, you have had the most importance – incomparably – meaning for my work. You are a true art lover, people lover and a true friend!

“Her” face was alive and moving – changing and I tried to catch up – I couldn’t. It was color for 35.000 kr, that ended up in the garbage!
I love these paintings… they feel iconic to me.
… but I destroyed them!

THIS DAY
I went through memories from last year – and this very day was a special day, a road Trip.
the location is: Båstanäs in Töckfors
– the place is filled of silent stories. time was short, there was so much more to film.
It was poignant – jag blev så berörd – to walk there among all the cars, the deeper into the forest, the older and rustier it became. I actually saw wrecks that looked like they were from before WWII.

… busy welcoming!
Cecilia has built a kennel – with a lot of passion and love – one of the best borzoi kennels in Sweden… lot of gold doggs! Fantastic breeding.
Her garden,in the middle of Gothenburg… like hidden, kind of unreal… lovely!
… always new things in development.
The cellar where fish overwinter and are then released into the ponds of the wooden farm.
There is a lot to say about everything my sister does … will come back another time!
2015 – my very multi talented sister builds a pond.
TODAY – I so long for inspiration!
Six months ago I was on a Sunday at Röda Sten, and that was inspiring. Feeling and seeing other people’s work, when that work is genuine&true… I just love it!

I am inspired by this picture even though it is my own… I love what I have managed to portray here. Think, some things can only be “read” in pictures… pictures are such an amazing language!

STOCKHOLM – 2022-11-16 19:00
Norén – theater – “that’s how simple love is”… well, it’s not simple! … that’s for sure!
I had an experience… that didn’t exist in my reality… it happened to me anyway! It’s becoming art!
I went to Stockholm, went to the theatre Maxim… actually mainly to understand reality, which I had begun to doubt… would have filmed a lot more, but lost the desire due to internal circumstances. Anyway, it was a valuable experience, to be able to be part of the last performance – in reality… happy that I have seen the much loved theater Maxim, before it was shut down.
Loaded with new insights I went home… it was/is surreal. I’ve fallen out, beyond earth’s gravity!
OBS
If anyone wants to add this little film clip to their memories – the end of Maxim – it is now available for download!

film 2.31 min
THE LEGACY – THE HERITAGE
I want to highlight our inherited fear. As soon as we leave the safe womb, we are so incredibly vulnerable.
In this work – which has been ongoing, from and to, since 1997 – 2022 – I have portrayed my fear of existing in my earthly body, my earthly destiny. And as I see it, everyone else’s fate as well – because I am not alone in being born into a system where violence and power are one of the most controlling forces. After all, there is a counterforce of light and love, but not everyone is blessed to be in that frequency. Despite the fact that “THE LEGACY” has deep roots in a dark part of me, my personality, the work is portrayed with humor. Because humor is a great tool to deal with difficulties. So this little baby, sitting on one side in a crack of the work – is even before leaving the womb – armed! This little heir seems to embrace his destiny even as he thinks: shit! On the other side of the work, his father – the comic book hero The Phantom rides his horse, gun at the ready… my childhood comic book hero, whom I chose to portray as the patriarchal role model.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT that the person who sings off the board is the same person who painted the painting?
Except
– that you do not want to be cheated!
… and in addition to paying for a lot more underlying work than just the fact that one purchase! All crafts are impregnate by variably unseen forces! According to me – it is extremely important what you bring home – for you who do not know, to you’r awareness, an object is just a capsule, a shell filled with just the exact energy that it was made by!
The great thing about buying a work of art is, in my opinion, that you besides the image, do take part of the artist’s invisible presence – you simply purchase an animated object – it cannot get more exclusive than that! That is what you are buying when buying a work of art.
” Zeppa-Zertified ” is:
= an hair collection in a safe deposit boxes from a selected individual who is no longer alive!
… to avoid any “accidents”
😉
– from this hair collection you use a piece of hair each time you sign you’r artwork – hair must always be in a certain measure, such as 2 cm, unless it does not apply even if it is the right DNA, it is to eliminate cheating alternatives to open the capsule and cut a piece of the hair, to use for other work.
Mount the hair shaft in papie mache (above) and rap the it in some plastic or evan better tin foil paper, and then put the package in a ”capsule” , and mount it on the artwork. The ”capsule” can for example be made in paipé mache, wood or plaster.
You mount the ”capsule” with suitable glue!
The ”capsule” is encapsulated in a mounted area of the object… and if you ever want to check the authenticity of a painting of me – or perhaps another artist who chooses this method –
you should be able to submit the painting to get an DNA-analysis. With professional help, lift the seal with a scalpel and do DNA analysis of the hair shaft and comparing it with an analysis… and then, with a witness – of course, restore the capsule.
As for my works – it probably will be accessible on my website.
Below – samples of a work of art, that is part of a series of paintings that I call ”Fauteuil-caramels” … and of course, there is the new addition to it, a DNA sealing!
”Fauteuil-caramels ”, 2016 acryl/oil on wood, external dimension: 21”x17”/ 53cmx43cm
1/ I will process this images digitally.
2/ The images will be printed – with the highest quality on synthetic canvas –
3/ Then hand painted In selected areas with oil paint.
–
So these works are intended, in such a way that the decorator should be able to combine pieces in the desired color combination, in the desired size and in different directions – horizontally or vertically. There are exciting movements no matter how you choose. I think it adds something extra interesting when the recipient gets the opportunity if desired, to integrate with the work and thus take part in the creation … become co-creative!

New parts are under development!

Pernilla Eskilsson
I had errands for the art gallery in Trollhättan – a work by me, ROOTS was part of Nature Remains&resident Carmen Olsson’s progress – inspiration took hold of me and I slipped into the other resident, Pernilla Eskilsson progress – Cloudy Wagon, I was enchanted and a film is ongoing.
This first part of the film is also in progress. the film is based on an observational, engaging and personal experience of Pernilla’s project.

Here is simply wonderful to be!

With a focus on Carmen Olsson… there will be a post later about Pernilla Eskilssons project!
The purpose of this residence time, is to let the artists develop&experiment with ongoing projects. This film is also an ongoing project, a kind of film sketch!

It is a fantastic entrance to the area where the art gallery is located … it offers both depth, excitement and incomparable possibilities, if you think about this rabbit’s presence.
Carmen Olsson has been given a residence in Trollhättan’s art gallery – and so has the textil artist Pernilla Eskilsson – starting soon. It is possible to visit the art gallery during this time:

I think that it is in some ways like go into a twilight zoon when traveling by tram in Gothenburg. On the one hand, the trams that go here are often from the 70’s … it feels really strange, considering how everything else has developed since then! And besides, it’s always a bit special because you get trapped in a vehicle with unknown people, all with their different energy bubbles. I will work in this painting like an experiment. I will see if I can land in an abstract description of a moment on a tram… without any people being seen … really nothing should be seen, just felt!
I do not know, but “COURAGE” has an inherent … if you give yourself time to look, you can feel it.
I’m enchanted … that’s why it will be a movie!
There will be more to come about Bengt Olson… you can find out more about him via his website:

so-called artist – like myself – you do not choose, it is only in your genes. It’s a blessing – you live a rich inner life. but it is also horrible, vulnerable and omitting. you stand outside your surroundings …
People in the immediate environment are quite often provoked by the person you are … I do not know why … even those closest to you … it is sometimes very lonely, very sad…
Many times I have been extremely hurt … but I have been quiet about it, because I understand that they do not see… did not understand, or chose not to understand … in any case … why do you/we so easily forget respect … the most monumentally important thing… most important human trait!
I guess we can all feel that way … maybe …
grace fully let their beautiful curtains end up in my studio instead of on the garbage dump … sometimes “manna” falls from the sky!

OZZY himself 😉
Ozzy – The Painting – has been a company in my studio since 2004 – I´ ve changed some things, it was even
bigger before. Now it is in three pieces instead of five! The Painting was presented at an exhibition at KULTUR
CENTRUM RÖDA STEN 2004, and the painting was also included in an retro-exhibition 2005 at Gallery Art Now.
titel:
For me, this is a very special object/painting… it represents an era, a time when reality shows began… I believe
“The Osbournes” was the first one… wasn’t´t it?
BY offering themselves completely, the family shown a rare courage, and above all, Ozzy in this series – has given a total insight into human life journey!
The journey we make between young, carefree, angry and boundless – kind of immortal – to age, become
humble, fill the room with humor and self-distance … it was wonderful right then.
I know no one else who showed it so clearly, in such a simple way, so popular and at the same time for real …
it was great!

… 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 …
And this magic fabrics… that speaks and tell… impossible to resist!
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.

MEDVERKANDE KONSTNÄRER ÄR: SARA-VIDE ERICSON, ROXY FARHAT, GABRIELLE GOLIATH, MOA ISRAELSSON OCH JOANNA PIOTROWSKA.”
[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.”
