Mycel / Mycelium – A large collaborative drawing (9 x 1,5 meters) in black ink of a mycelium structure that grows over the paper with alterations in shapes, structure and density.

In the collaborative work with MASU we often find our process to be rhizomatic like a fungi mycelium and in the last couple of years we have also worked a lot in forests with our sprawling, spreading wooden structures. The material we build with and move around between sites in the ongoing project (Material) Site Recordings have also hosted several different fungi as they reside in places where things grow. The drawing Mycel / Mycelium comes out of a wish to work and move across the paper over time like mycelium, in an attempt to be the mycelium rather than to illustrate it.  

In the process of this work, we cut a 10 meter roll of drawing paper in half and worked on each half simultaneously. We decided on black ink in bottles and calligraphy tips as the tools. We have shared the rolls of paper and continued wherever there was space, connecting the different tracks, traces and patterns. The drawing exists within, but is not limited to, the limits of the paper, and could continue to grow in any direction.

The drawing is both a dialogue with our ongoing practice as well as its own work.

Parasit / Parasite – A site specific installation out of wooden planks salvaged from the recycling depot (Mossebergs återvinning) painted black for a greater contrast to the space. The structure inhabits the larger of the two rooms of the exhibition space and reaches towards the ceiling and the second floor.

We had a slow process of drawing with wood in the space where each line is drawn in an ongoing conversation about sequence, rhythm and the spatial. The installation occupies the main floor and reaches up on to the balcony that offers visitors another view of the space. The structure is self-supported from the floor and up and sits as its own entity in the old baroque room careful not to touch the delicate walls and stucco details. Parasit / Parasite was a temporary site-specific structure that lived only at Arvika konsthall and returned to Mossebergs depot after the exhibition.

Månader / Months – Seven site-specific collages of paper pieces mounted directly on the wall.

The pieces of paper comes from our ongoing project (Material) Site Recordings that is a nomadic sculpture / installation project. It has been moving between sites since 2018 and in September 2021 it moved to a forest by Hedgärdessjön in Skene where MASU now runs a Forest Lab, a collaborative studio. On the site is a stack of wooden laths that are the primary sculpture material of the project. In November 2021 we placed 7 large drawing / watercolor papers in the layers of wood, letting it rest over nine months to open for a collaborative drawing process together with weather, water, the forest and its various inhabitants. In July 2022 we had used material enough to reach the layers of paper that had been hidden. We harvested the papers, both smaller pieces and larger sheets.

Månader / Months are collages where we built new drawings from pieces that are marked, bruised and partly dissolved with marks from weather, fungi, pine needles and insects. The collages held a temporary constellation at the exhibition and will continue to be a part of the (Material) Site Recordings project.

In October, as we dismantle a sculpture at Rydals museum and return the laths to the forest, we will place new papers in the stack and start this part of the project over again.

my drawing method:

1. crappy sketch:

2. line it and shade it

3. delete the line layer and laugh my ass off
