PAX
PAX is the Latin word for peace, something to aim for in many ways.
This screenprint is based on photos of the meditation place at Backåkra, in memory of Dag Hammarskjöld, a place we visit every summer.
Small founds from the ground. We have experimented with them for some time now, and here is a series of new screen prints were we have organized the parts into faces. We call them Portraits, available in the jollygoodshop
So happy to be a part of the nice group exhibition at Hässleholm Kulturhus the winter 2019.
In May we took part in a local group exhibition at the old wind mill just outside Arlöv. What an honor to be a part of this, to exhibit in a room that is like a piece of art in itself and to do it together with these good people/artists. Hope that this will be a new tradition!
During the Stockholm Design Week 2019 we had an exhibition with hand-dyed fabrics/sound absorbers and paper craft at manos, our absolute favorit store/workshop in Stockholm run by ceramic designer, Karin Eriksson.
We have long thought about textiles in interior design, they have a great ability to soften and to dampen sound. In our home we like to have as much light as possible, so we skip curtains, instead we choose to hang the fabric on the wall. Some years ago we started to experiment with natural dyeing, now we have combined it with screen printing. The theme for the first collection of textile prints is birds. The motif is based on our print “Flying V” but this time the flock is printed spontaneously over the textile, as the title of the exhibition hints. This makes all the prints unique.
The fabrics are dyed with: wine, acorn, black bean and hollyhock.
All the ceramics are made by Karin Eriksson, the potter with green fingers ; )
Some years ago we discovered a new store in Malmö. We are not that much into shopping but this place was something more than a place for shopping. Inspiring settings, good coffee, exciting products with high environmental awareness, a place of activity and a place for rest. It’ s called Ab SMÅLAND, we have been back there many times, and now our prints are there all of December, it’s a big honor for us. And yes, they even let us screen print on the wall ; )
Long Play (or logg play) is based on a photo of a log, reminding of a classic LP record (Long Play). The growth rings have become tracks. We love the opportunity of listening to music digitally and get access to music that we did not know existed. But it’s still something special with the act of grabbing a sleeve, picking up the vinyl record and playing it. The limitations of the format is also nice in these times of limitless access to all kind of entertainment. The print are
