title
Mecca
I've been inspired by John William Waterhouse's painting of the Lady of Shalott, and the title of the serie, I am half-sick of Shadows, said the Lady of Shalott, is a quote from the poem with the same name, by the British 19th century poet Alfred Tennyson.
- The picture serie I am half-sick of shadows, said the Lady of Shalott. A play with ideas and conventions, eroticism, love and death, faith and profanity, obedience and rebellion, strength and vulnerability.
- Evighetskalendern från Danderyds sjukhus – med glimten i naveln - the calendar that raised a global debate not only regarding the work situation in Swedish healthcare but also on nude images and human perception.
- The book For pople with other exits – among other things a cook book… A completely unexpected award winning cook book for the purpose of giving joy and hope back to those who have just undergone a stoma surgery. It has so far been translated into seven languages.
- The book Roffe och andra kvinnliga förebilder. A serious and humorous anthology by eight female writers in the advertising industry. The book drew great attention in various media when it was released.
- The Trompe l’oeil concept – illusions created with site-specipic works made in tune with the shape and character of the environment. Collaboration partners in the trompe l’oeil projects are architects.
