My latest lamp in the Frostbo collection. 

This sharp beauty comes mixed metal waste. Straight from a metal workshop on Öckerö, a tiny Island outside Gothenburg, Sweden. 

It hangs, with extraordinary light, in the home of the buyer . 

I really love this one. As well as loving the fact of using our waste as resources as treasures.

“The Upside Down World” 2013

This was a collaborative project with several companies of public transport in Eskilstuna where we were individually assigned to make an artwork or installation with a bag of lost and found items and a theme – “Where are we headed?” More about the exhibition here: http://www.eskilstuna.se/sv/Bygga-bo-och-miljo/Miljo/Hallbara-resor-och-transporter/Mobilitetsgruppen1/Pa-vag-at-ratt-hall/

My installation was made by creating clouds with padding from a winter jacket, screen-printing a text on a cashmere scarf and turning an umbrella upside down.

Collography - Cogwheels, Plastic Flowers and Sequins in Space. 2013 Collagraphy is a printmaking process in which materials are applied to a rigid substrate (such as paperboard or wood).  My print is made with cogwheels, plastic flowers and sequins in which these items are glued to a piece of cereal box.  There is only a limited amount of prints to purchase.
