I really got inspired by the architecture in Berlin, in the way they manage to merge old and modern structures. We went to a kind of suburb… it did´t look really like this… but it felt like it! (below)

Yesterday I had a long meeting with Swedish-French painter Bengt Olson, who was prepering himself for the tripp back to Paris and to his wife Cric… after an extra long ”staying” in Sweden.
Bengt is telling stories while I am sketching him. This afternoon he is remembering some disappointments concerning a work… and I must say, that energy adds some intense vibes to the sketch!
Find the inner room where the noise does not reach!
The truth is – it is only then as we can understand and clearly perceive what is happening around us outside ourself…. and it´s only then as we can consciously navigate in the outer world!
Unfortunately it is so easy to forgett the inner room…but that is so urgent to be in touch with it … it should be the main goal!
My project, ”Through The Looking Glass”… it is about life in its diverse phases and therefore I have chosen to portray people of various ages, young people in the beginning of theire life’s journey, people in mid-life and people closer to the end of life are represented.
But I want more out of the project ”Through the Looking Glass”… through the process of this portray work I want, I hope to reach into the ” room” beyond, on the other side of life… while I am still here in the ”earthly room”. I know it is cracy to say… but I wish to build a bridge… mayby it only will be a poetic bridge… it will be very interesting to see!
… to be continued!
”The Peeping Clown” 1979, Oil on canvas, 47”x35.4”/120cmx90cm – painting from earlier stages (signed with my other name) – apperently, evan if it was in my youth, I had the same need… there was something leaking through the wall that I had a need of processing in my work.
… to understand the ”room” after life!
Will I succeed? Ye… it is not known … that you never know, maybe it’s just something on the road that I will find … something that I have to go this particular route to find! That’s why life is so exciting … we start something with an intention, but have no idea what it will lead to!
We have no idea!
It’s really quite incredible that there is a side of reality that we know nothing about, like a dark hole … we know it exists, we call it anti-matter … something that does not exist … but we can still see ”the something that is not there”, as a dark hole!
We know only just the beginning in the existence beyond our earthly reality, and it is beginning with that our life ends! How is that possible, so incredibly exciting … while staggering, terrible, terrible… and we just have to do it alone!

What if these two matters are connected?
Dark matter and ”Death matter” (life after death)
… so there are two mysterious matters that we do not know nothing about!
That is my artistic, poetic applied research… totaly unscientifically… to find out…
My sister Bibbi, 1977 – 15 year – happy and on holydays in spain!
I wonder where Bibbi is now… since she left her bodily existence, august 2015!
My sister Bibbi and I had a session in the garden under a small shady apple tree … we knew what was going on… two weeks later Bibbi died.

Thursday, 8/20 2015, my highly and deeply loved sister Bibbi left the earth.
Bibbi, so beautiful, so amazing talented … something the world missed because Bibbi made herself visible only to the family and immediate circle of friends.
I will miss her so much … to see her, to hear her and laugh with her!
Bibbi has always been my first choice of person to show my work … she had a deep, clear and unique picture vision … the best!
Bibbi also had a great knowledge when it came to words, language … all kinds of texts. When she very rarely wrote … it was fantastic!
Bibbi, Bibbi … I am deeply grateful to all our moments, days, laughter and tears!
Miss you and love you forever!
Your adoring sister Zeppa
Bibbi didn´t belive in life after death! Now… I wonder…
… I remember because I recently got in contact with the 1990s again!
In December 1990, I went to the USA, with the aim to connect with the art world!
I travelled to New York with a group of people connected to Björn Wetterling.
We visited the studios of some celebreties in the art world as, such as La Noue, Terence,
Robert Rauschenberg, Frank Stella and James Rosenqvist and some others,
like printers and assistents.
… our meeting with James Roseqvist!
Rosenqvist showing his work and at the same time kindly taking care of us in his studio.

I left New York very early in the morning, alone… and extremly nervous, as the taxi driver
who showed up with a wild appearans, chose a way through the very dark park ,
driving like a mad man, mumbling strange words… and an no identifing photo in the
window… I had just heard horror stories with clear directives: don´t travel with taxi drivers
without a photo ID! I arrived in L A not knowing anyone
at all… but with clear focus, my trip was planned!
Zeppa, L A… by night!
