DEKADANSBANAN
Verkstad Konsthall, Norrköping
14 november - 12 december 2020 (INSTÄLLT PGA COVID-19)
1920 byggs en dansbana mitt ute i skogen. Succén uteblir.
Hundra år senare upprepar sig historien.
För etthundra år sedan lät Verner "Mosen" Ahnberg bygga en dansbana på Öna. Han ville locka traktens ungdomar och möjligen "träffa ett fruntimmer". Tyvärr kom inte så många besökare. Med kärleksfull respektlöshet återuppfördes hans verk sommaren 2020.

Portal — Between the legs, backwards and upside down
2019
“Portal” is a colourful assemblage of conjoined body parts. The widespread legs form a carnal portal and the act is “the wrong way around” – a symbol of the reversal of the traditional order. The pose is erotic and active, while plaster and paper is timeless, hard, dead materials, far from carnal.
The Doll - a fine stripe of hair
2019
This doll has the attribute of a stuffed animal, with fur covering most of the body. It sits in a backward position, on a bare, cold and slightly withered round of concrete. Concrete which has attributes associated with concepts such as immobility and solidification and has a texture that seems to reject human touch.

One is not Born, but rather Becomes
2016
Joint exhibition with Rebecca Lindsmyr
Simone de Beauvoir once expressed that one is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.
Through the title we have excluded the word woman, to expand the concept and also to highlight its possible limitations regarding a likewise fluctuating physical body.

The Devil is in the Details
2016
Consist of a found toy animal made of wood which is redesigned with a grinder and a dough-like pinkish paste to form an atypical genitalia. Standing up-side-down and watching itself in the mirror, while the mirror revealing its private parts before the viewer.
The titel refers to how we tend to pay too much attention to the details which really should not matter.
