The Yearlings  (Åringarna)


A spacial work with painted horses and birds, fractions of landscapes in bas reliefs, mirror faces, abstract shapes and lines. Inspired by the schools’ surrounding nature and landscape. A sort of base camp in bright colors, a welcoming place for the children at the new Fredriksborg school. A space to connect to and become part of and let your mind wander. The work can be exploited both with sight and touch. In the mirror faces you both can and can’t see yourself at the same time.

The hunting Angel, the Virgin and the Unicorn


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.
