Sub arboribus ambulo – Gothenburg Botanical Garden, 2021

Sub arboribus ambulo – I walk under the trees. Project initiated and curated by Åsa Christensson and Mona Wallström at Hnoss Initiative – four jewellery artists, Sanna Wallgren, Li Liang, Sofia Bankeström and Staffan Jonsson were invited together with me. We showed work inspired by the Gothenburg Botanical Garden, both jewellery art and cameraless images. My work consisted of photograms of plants from the garden’s greenhouse, and assisting the other participants in interpreting their work with cameraless photography.

Supported by Gothenburg Botanical Garden and the Swedish Arts Council/Kulturrådet
