my memory trip

I participated in an exhibition in my home town of Gällivare, very far north in Sweden.

In most of my work, I return to my growing up at the foot of a big maountain.

In winterland. That has made me who I am. 

I made an accordian book coming out of an old old little suitcase in leather.

One side of the book is winterwhite, cold bright as is a few months in 

springtime.

The other side is winter as it is a few months, cold,dark and blue. in between the snow are hidden 

my stories

LEAVING

Part of Gällivare railway station. A beautiful old building, a few of landmarks in northern part of Sweden. Along the railway they built a few like these houses and they are still there. 

view from the platform. my last goodbye to the mountain of Dundret

waiting

here it comes. this train is taking me back to Gothenburg. The journey takes me 19 hours

wake up to this

need I say more

feeling sad for a few days until having settled with rain and wind and

no snow

my favourite mountain

visiting my friend Karina Jarrett at Gällivare Museum. Her view from her workdesk.

I would not be able to work with this sview.

The very special church is a favourite of mine. as you may have noticed.

if the sunset looks like this you have to stop and watch. takes a moment and it is gone.

My mountain, Dundret

I need this view.

there are only 12 of these type of churches in 

Sweden

this morning I woke up to this

not this, photo not taken by me but it shows the northern part of Sweden from where my roots are

this is the actual place where I lived my 19 first years

this is around my corner right now in the middle of 

Sweden but in the mountains.

this is like a brides dress to me

my view from my desk right now

this is my favourite season of all seasons and I am happy to be able to find myself
in this scenery

Leaving Lapland

Time to leave for this time. it is hard to do. My exhibition was a success to me personally.
I had an excuse to go back in time to my adolescence and discover the beauty of the landscape.
And the people. I really understand why I had to work with the landscape.
These pictures are taken through the train window and as you can see, it´s breathtaking!
