In 2024, I spent two periods in Mamallapuram, Tamil Nadu, working on two parallel assignments, one for Hudiksvall Hospital and the other for the new psychiatric hospital in Västervik. The installations will be completed during the summer.
Lirón
“Lirón” a public art commision in the courtyard of Äventyrets preschool
The sculpture at Äventyret Preschool is composed of two sections: a dormouse resting in a cloud-like hand made of granite, with light gray for the hand and reddish brown for the mouse. The preschool aims to create an environment with a nature-inspired theme. In the inner courtyard, there is a local population of dormice, a rare and protected species that is also featured in Alice in Wonderland. The dormice are known for their long winter hibernation and can serve as a basis for discussions about nature conservation.

Time (?)
A commission for the preschool at Merkuriusgatan, Gothenburg
Time is a difficult concept that can be defined in many different ways, I have chosen the way was represented in Greek mythology and selected a few aspects:
“The ancient Greeks had two words for time, chronos and kairos. While the former refers to chronological or sequential time, the latter means a moment of indefinite time in which everything happens.”(Wikipedia)
1. “Kronos” is the personification of time in Greek mythology and is the time that is measured and ends (the chronological time) it is often represented as an old man.
2. “Kairos” Greek word meaning right, critical or opportune moment. For a moment everything is possible but if you miss it, it’s gone..
3. “Aeon” which is the unbound time that has neither beginning nor end, it just goes on. for me the snail is the image of slowness.
