Cottage Studio Infusion

Hallands Konstmuseum, Halmstad 
 Apr-May 2014

The exhibition was about turning away from everyday life, leaving all obligations; parenthood, partnership, job and other duties to reflect and experience solitude, less impressions, less consumption and reestablish quality of life. It was an anti stress action where I infused myself with the emptiness and simplicity of an old abandoned cottage. It is a reflection on time, stress and possessing - how does it affect us on an individual and general level with an increasing number of stress related health conditions in our society? Is less sometimes more and can we still become satisfied? If you ask me I´d be positive therefore I like to highlight a slower pace to begin with to promote division and regain meaning and depth.
