Balance

Solo exhibition October 2019, at Kaolin Stockholm

I'm looking for balance. In life, of course, but also in the material and the expression. I don't know if I can find it or even exists. The slightly skewed and irregular expression has always appealed to me. Maybe because the imperfect is more human. But there must be a balance, the right amount of irregularity. Not too much; otherwise, it will just be chaos. The knot was my starting point, a knot that cannot be tied up without cutting the band, a so-called Gordian knot. It is about family ties, a bond that is very difficult to break. The strongest bond is tied to my son. However, as in most families with toddlers, everyday life is about the ongoing management of chaos and the search for functioning routines to find balance. If it even exists? Maybe it's more about embracing the chaos.
