︎ About me
I am a Swedish artist, photographer and graphic designer based in Gothenburg, Sweden.
In my artistic practice I use a combination of photography, graphic design and the printed medium to tell stories. I’m drawn to traces of life and time: the layering of different eras, materials, colors, and textures that have evolved naturally over time.
I notice the contrasts of old meeting new, intention meeting coincidence. Lines and shapes, rhythm and repetition are recurring elements in my work and in the way I construct my artist’s books. Self-publishing gives me control over the entire process, from concept to completion.
I am available for commission work, very open to collaborations and fun projects and will happily travel anywhere in the world.
I enjoy photographing creatives and their work, spaces and objects, people and their stories, faraway places and near. I also design publications for other artists.
I co-ran Pet People Magazine with Linnea Paulsson Neppelberg 2015-2017.
