Information about the artist / the group

I am a textile artist/craftsman and work with textile images, where free embroidery gets a lot of space on different textile surfaces. I am a shade nerd who loves to combine different shades in fabrics, wool, threads and beads. I often work on needle punched surfaces on linen fabric. My themes are usually semi-abstract sea / water, nature and flowers, but also fully abstract, especially exhibition works occur. I have a workshop at SALT konsthantverk where you usually find me and my products, I am one of six co-owners, and we are all craftsmen who run the house together.

Program during Konstrundan

Showing how my pictures develop with the different phases of the process and examples from my material supply. This year Ålands Slöjd och konsthantverk has embroidery as its annual theme and therefore I will focus on free embroidery more than usual at Konstrundan. Since I am a Kaffe Fassett nerd, I will also show some patchwork projects with his fabrics, including an ongoing large patchwork. Many visitors have enjoyed coming to my home and seeing other interior design ideas for a change.
