I. WALKING AND CREATING ASSOCIATIVE AND INTUITIVE DRAWINGS -
A practice based, experimental artistic process
During my artist residency on Björkö, I was focusing on walking in nature
and to deepen my connection with the natural world, nurture my creativity,
and contribute to a greater appreciation and understanding of the
environment through my art.
While walking, thoughts, memories and feelings are taking their turns in
my mind. I tried to keep that inner process and used it to make associative,
intuitive drawings, which formed a “map” on my studio wall. While looking
at the drawings, it conveys a feeling of “walking” between the pieces and
allows the spectator to make their own associative connections.
I was inspired by the shapes and textures I found in nature, during my
walks. For the drawings I was experimenting with natural pigments from
plants and soil from Björkö.
