Embracing and finding inspiration in my youth and background to explore methods and paths for creating art.
In this project I have explored and investigated my background growing up in Hedekas, a small rural village in Sweden. I wanted to see both socially and geographically how it could relate to and inspire my artistic work and practice. This resulted in three exstensive series of works that exemplifies this. An important overall aspect of this project is how I connect and releate the titles of my works to specific locations, people and events that have inspired them.
