Black, Grey, Broken Sky and Palest Blue, 2010
Ceramic tiles, steel structure, 275 x 225 x 50 cm
I have thought of the pine trees and the pale blue sky of Umedalen, this park that I have walked countless times over the last couple of years. This painting is carefully placed so that the north-ern side is cool and blue in the shadow and the south facing side speaks to the rays of sun that find their way down and are received by streaks of yellow. The black round forms follow you around the painting as you walk from side to side like a rhythm or a beat mov-ing you forward.
