Life continues
every heartbeat
every drop of rain
every now and then
all included
everything
every
thing
anything can sing.

You see

Remember this piece?
It surprised me.
This piece had a story to tell and I had no idea what it was.
Not when made years ago and not when remade some months ago.
Can You see it? Can You see the message?
It says:
You get more than You see.

It´s about all the invisible, the magic, the unpredictable.
It´s about all the in betweens, the face to face and all the layers.
It´s about the white and everything that fits in to it.

and also it has some mathematical indestructible moments of truth that I haven´t yet figured out with all of my sences.

winter

Dear friends, It´s like I´m in hibernation. The flue goes around in circles in the house, and the few meters that separates me from my studio requires many more steps than Kebnekajse. I´m giving my hope for next year and I wish this unelected and therefore a bit stressful contemplation will come to its end with new fresh spirit in return. The one that includes my studio that´s been under renovation.

And for this contemplation that includes holidays and family tradition, I hope You all are well.

I´m with You even if I leave no trace.

I wish You sweet Love and Light for Christmas!

remembrance

Now they are long gone, hiding
in the memory
of pink petal in full bloom.
To rest one´s face in a dew-wet peony
is a splendid experience.

Now outside my window, a wind
that blows away old habits
I guess I´m going outdoors and attend
to rest my face in those wind gusts.
hopefully, it will be
a splendid experience
when new habits enter in the storm.

Now on my signboard, a sketch
to dive into
looking for layer
with a new eye. yes,
a splendid experience
when habits change and
new opportunities open up.

just like the peony
no longer hiding
in a memory.

reflection

This piece has something in mind for it self, I don´t know what.
Not today, but I´m going to cut it in to smaller pieces. They are going further.
I´ll keep You up dated.
