Schyssta lökar, detalj (Nice onion, detail) Print

This sculpture is a self portrait made of recycled object and casted jesmonite with bronze filler. It is a part of the work Schyssta lökar (Nice onions); a mixed media installation in 43 parts. The installation was a part of my solo exhibition Löken blommar (The onion is blooming), at Alva Gallery, Umeå Sweden, 2022. About the exhibition: I bought a flower. And one more. And then I couldn’t stop. The use of the body in my work has sometimes been both mentally and physically stressful and the last year a need for playfulness has been emerging; to be able to use parts of my body in a way where they can be just parts of a puzzle without charges or values. In my praxis and in the body parts that I twist, turn, repeat and distort into new entities of their own, there is sometimes a longing for objectivity towards the subjective, and I wanted to make another attempt. I like to work with recycled materials since a long time, and previously mainly textiles. Nowadays I include other materials to a larger extent and for this exhibition I’ve used, in addition to textiles, found or second hand objects, as well as jesmonite castings of my body.
