ÅRINGARNA (THE YEARLINGS)

Fredriksborgskolan, Borås 2024

oil on shaped canvas, mirror mosaics, bas reliefs, mdf, wall paint

The work is called ”Yearlings”, young horses about to become adults, as are the kids and teenagers who will inhabit the school, and they are just as energetic, playful and inventive.

The work ties the room together, making a whole of a motley place that actually consists of two corridors with several doors and a sitting area behind the stairs. The vibrant colors hopefully inspires and make the place a bit magical and imaginative. The mirror mosaics hang at a child-friendly height, but it takes some skill and patience to be able to reflect oneself in them. I wish that the children of the Fredriksborg school can have an experience

of belonging and pride in their school.

For my assignment for the Fredriksborg elementary school in Borås, I wanted to make a large and comprehensive design with many different elements and generously with color. The work runs across three walls from ceiling to floor and consists of various pieces and reliefs mounted on painted walls, like large puzzle pieces. The school's surroundings gave the idea for the design. Horses and birds in oil on canvas on shaped panels, carved and milled landscape reliefs and monochrome puzzle pieces together form a not only visual, but also tactile experience. The mirror mosaics reflect the light when you move. The colors come in variants of orange, green and pink. The cliff and the steep slope in the forest behind the school gave the idea to the different height lines on the pillars and walls.

THE ANGEL, THE VIRGIN & THE UNICORN

Kyrkskolan & Kyrkbyns förskola, Tierps Kyrkby 2023

oil on shaped canvas, mirror mosaics, papier-maché, wood, glass mdf, wall paint

Inspired by a medieval painting in the nearby 13th century church, three walls in the new built school represent different characters from this painting. A bit more modern but with a certain drama: cardboard wings are hanging from a folding screen with a grotto painted on. A narwhal’s tooth hanging in a glass cabinet. The zodiac sign of the unicorn in mirror mosaic. A red dress hanging from another folding screen. Broccoli trees, stars and dogs. A work for storytelling and imagination.

In the paintings a variety of animals and plants - some local, some exotic, put together in large colourful spray lacquered frames. Painting mostly in vinyl paint on mdf. Two large landscape paintings, in oil paint on glas, mark the entrance of two separate floors in the hospital building. Eight pieces in different shapes and sizes are hung both inside the departments and outside in the stair case.
