I am an artist MFA, archaeologist Ph D and curator based in Sweden.
I investigate human relations to natural, cultural and spiritual landscapes over time. My art has a strong sense of materiality, with references to archaeology and architecture. I primarily work with textile techniques and materials but also with printing combined with embroidery.
My connection to nature, landscapes and time is rooted in the cultures and world views of the Swedish indigenous people – the Sami. All people share this deeply rooted connection, but for us Sami, it is more recent, compared to the Scandinavian farmer cultures´ 3-5000 years. This makes a difference.
Since 2023, I am the artistic director of Aerpie – Center for Contemporary Sami Art, part of Slipvillan Art Center, Långholmen, Stockholm. www.slipvillan.org/aerpie. Aerpie is 2023-24 a project in collaboration with Stockholm Sami Association. From 2025 and onwards, Aerpie will be part of the Research platform Textile Heritage at University College of Art, Craft & Design (Konstfack), Stockholm, Sweden.
