New York 1990
Christmas
Alexander McQueens creations. as in window Christmas decoration in New York.
… 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.

Remembering Rauchenberg, By Jim Lewis
… our visit to his studio!
Rauchenberg´s Studio was the coolest studio I have ever seen… an entire building,
with several floors, studios and living spaces… all very nicly put together.
This goat of Rauchenberg ”lives” among us here in Sweden,
at Moderna Museet in Stockholm, and the goat has made
a deep, deep impression on me of a kind that I can´t grasp!
Half of the first floor in the Rauchenberg building was a very large room resembling a
churchlike room… so beautiful and such sacred atmosphere. All of his space did inspire
the mind to different activities… what a creative way to live!
LA Noue, Terence
… our visit to his studio!
We were invited to a coctail party at Terence´s the
studio before the evening´s visit to the restaurant .
I was especially impressed by one object in his living room (beside his work)
… it was a 2000 year old mummy of a little girl… it was very strange
… it had an effect on me… wonder if such company is healthy?
Zeppa
1990… my own work at the time!
Zeppa STUDIO, 1990, Gotenburg.
I worked
… mostly with two sizes as shown in the photo above. Later, in December, I had a
pleasant break from this work, switching to an interior decorating project where I
was hired to design and create/renew the image of a classic old café in Gothenburg.
The same type of ”Picture Letter” as the group I brougth
to LA were my inspiration for the entire interior project!

Los Angeles 1990
… arriving on 4th December.
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!
ART FAIR and PATRONNES DINNER
In connection with The Art Fair I did meet Mr Joel Kessler who very generously
invited me to different events and introduced me to different people… … as like for the
big party at Karen and Tony Barones Studio in Venice, in some way related to L A Art fair.
🙂
and… my meeting with Extraordinaire Joel Kessler
Karen Barone and Tony Barone… the greate party fixer!

zeppa design _ winter Dress
A couple of years ago I did design and sew this winterdress in 3 parts, yesterday I did this clip – so happy to have it, because now it is the wether to use it!
SHOES
Just nice
I did really like these – wonder why.
The dent, gives a little power – like dressing in a suit of armor – and an armor might be needed when moving in the world.

I was actually threaten over the phone – the voice in the clip- was in my phone for real – I got crazy mad!
REBIRTH: Lisence To Live
It’s actually about defending your right to privacy. It’s about how difference creates provocation – you need courage not to be trampled on!

Funeral as art performance
VIGIL
art performance – of the most super realism kind – almost medieval.
Beatrice – her grief!
film 59 sec
Beatrice went right through the screen, in to my studio. I was incredibly touched by her figure, her grief and her concentrated determination not to break down. To stand there and really just mourn her grandmother, while the church is filled with people mourning the passing of an era as.
Vulnerable and skinless – she held herself together, under an odd mourning garment. Maybe the garments served as protection – maybe most people didn’t see what I saw.
mixed technique of charcoal sketches that were later digitally assembled – it can become a work for print.
I did portray the death and the burial of Queen Elizabeth an era
through Beatrice.
I kind of got “struck” by her – her grief went right through the window into my studio!
It touched me deeply that they were standing there for public viewing, with their claws – watched by prying eyes – but especially Beatrice. It was heartbreaking and in the same time pure and beautiful!
