"Auricula Brooch" and "Seed Head Brooch" in Pinpoint, an exhibition at One Church Street Gallery.

"Contemporary miniature works that express a sustained conversation with materials, is the focus of a new exhibition, Pinpoint, by fine art gallery "One Church Street" opening on 12th October 2013."

"The selecting panel included leading figures within the textile art world, Polly Binns and Linda Brassington, who worked in collaboration with the Directors of One Church Street Gallery. The panel reviewed submissions from hundreds of applicants from around the world, seeking a breadth of approach in the construction or application of cloth and thread. The gallery has been particularly keen to focus on the delicate space that artists navigate between fine craft and fine art. By incorporating a diversity of textile material, technique or process these works seek to cross the boundaries of artistic practice."



"The final exhibits selected, embrace work that is sculptural, experimental, two-dimensional and even four-dimensional. Each piece is no larger than 20 x 20 x 20 cm, unframed and unglazed. Submissions have been accepted from an international arena including Israel, Finland, United States as well as the United Kingdom."

To do… or not to do, that´s the question anyway for me…

Sometimes you need to be wearing of what´s coming from your heart.

kulturnatta...

Kulturnatta in Gothenburg Friday 11^th of October… The event started in Trädgårdsföreningen in the centre of the town, I have to say that I´m not so impressed by the opening, the spot of the act was not so nice I think, maybe the idea of having the performance close to the water was a great idea, but the once that had arrange this haven´t been thinking of all the trees that was in the way for the view…  But the up lightning of the trees in the park was lovely!

I and my friends Anita and Malin took a walk and did some drop in at different event spots, first the opening, then Röhsska  design museum and some hat makings, then the great performance at Prickig katt at Magasinsgatan by Benedikte Esperi , with friends.– Fenomene… Then we end up at Lagerhuset a great “plock” dinner and some beer, I like Lagerhuset a lot, great staff and the interior is creative and nice. Finally a last beer at the Rovers at the Second Long Street or Andra Långgatan, for me a favorite street in Gothenburg close to my hoods.

A great and funny evening!

a beginning of a cloud…

This is an idea that I need to do, to see if I can do some clouds idea with this…

Crochet with nylon line and glass beads.

breath in and breathes out...

This is a new try out piece… I made it from a piece that I did in Ravenstein, The Netherlands under the workshop Now Root’s with Ruudt Peters. I was inspirited about the morning mediations, I have never meditate before, my idea about meditation has been that it´s waste of time, sitting and doing nothing, but I had change my mind and I think it was a great pleasure with myself for a time.

This is the idea of breath in and breathes out that you doing under the mediation, an image that comes up in my “mind” when I was participant in the morning meditation…

the same photos in different ways…

I like to play in the computer… it´s easy and interesting to mix and see what´s coming up… curiosity.

Gunilla Grahn at Four...

Mjuka material och mjuka tekniker – en textil smekning. Gunilla Grahns smycken är personliga och berättar historier med både humor och allvar. Second Wind är en utställning som ger visuella intryck, stimulerar känseln och kanske skapar viss nostalgi.

Gunilla Grahn tog magisterexamen i smyckekonst 1997 och har sedan dess varit aktiv både som konstnär och som lektor på HDK. I sitt senaste projekt har Gunilla använt textiler från avlagda kläder och bortglömda syprojekt för att skapa färgsprakande taktila smycken.

Välkommen till vernissagen fredag den 11e oktober 17-21
Utställningen pågår till den 10e November

Mer information finns på www.foursweden.com 

Nya öppettider på Four. Ni är välkomna in måndag och tisdag 12-18, fredag 12-18, lördag 12-16 och som vanligt är det bara att höra av Er om Ni vill boka in ett besök vid något annat tillfälle!

work in progress…

In the end this will be a neck piece… I like the mad plastic rabbits “eating” at a plastic play sausage, it can be fun and interesting in the end… I hope.
