Interview to Hanna Hedman I believe that forums like this influence trends and transitions in student work for example. Much has changed from when I first started to make art jewellery; from having access to only a few books in the library up until today when website after website contains enormous amount of pictures and information. Barcelona, Klimt02, 25.08.2012 Klimt02

Interview to Märta Mattsson My advice is to try and learn what advice to listen to and not and to search for your own answers to why you have decided to work in a certain way or with a material. One material or a subject has got thousands of different possibilities so you just have to find your own way of working with it. Barcelona, Klimt02, 28.08.2012 Klimt02

More tools Written by Karin Roy Michelle Andersson 23.08.2012 / 10:05 hrs. Sanna is right now in Ghana enjoying a 30°C climate and spending quality time with her boyfriend and his family. I have travelled to the north of Sweden where I am having a great time with my relatives. Yesterday I took a walk to my uncle’s house. Unfortunately he was not at home. I only found his cat, his shoes and a beautiful beetle that I saved from a spider net. My uncle, Bertil Strömberg is a photographer. Inspired by our last (...)

A swarm is a biological survival strategy for insects. It is a challenging strategy that constantly seeks to balance the growth and needs of the individuals in the swarm with the pressures of its natural habitat. Swarm consists of thousands of small flat aluminium aeroplanes suspended in a swarm formation on a large wall. The large size of the installation and its relentless repetition of an otherwise familiar form will induce in the viewer feelings of being small, vulnerable and uncomfortable, similar to the feelings when faced with a real swarm.
