Arrival only few days ago, I discovered the beauty of this place where I will work for a month. I feel lucky!

Work in progress at ARNA
After discover around, this gorgeous place of the Avian Kingdom, “The Space Between” Residency is already in work in progress!
Result of the Anthotype in Montréal.
It’s hard to take a good picture of the anthotype, but you can see result if you pay attention. I keep secret the modifications that I’m going to make on the transparencies.
A window view of Harlösa from South Korea
The second of my Anthotype postcards sent the Day before I left Harlösa has arrived! Here are the photos that fellow resident artist Ji-ii Choi sent me from South Korea. The original photograph was taken along the road heading out of Harlösa to Vom, looking towards Harlösa.
Thanks for the photos Ji-ii! I look forward to seeing the results!
Creatures of the forest III
Postcard Greetings to Harlösa from Paris
Just before I left Harlösa (such a sad day!) I began a postal project that I hope will keep alive for me the residency’s spirit of collaborative creative sharing. Four beetroot-coated papers and photo transparencies (images of Harlösa) in transparent envelopes, ready to place in windows for exposure, were sent to four artist friends, across the globe.
Here is photographic artist Évelyne Coutas taping her Anthotype of the ICA store sign to the window of her Parisian apartment. The window faces her local store so she’ll be sending me a transparency depicting it, with which to create an Anthotype in England.
I’m looking forward to hearing news of the other Anthotype postcards.
Creatures of the forest II
Today the creature of the forest is a ingenious girls scout. Beware, she can also haunt your shed.
Creatures of the forest I
I’m not in Sweden anymore. Back in Montréal, I process the picture of the last project of my residency; three oil painting on blue plastic depicting creatures of the forest. Today I introduce you to Rået (a mythical creature that lure young mans to their death).
Goodbye and Hello
This will be my last day in Harlösa. I can’t express just how sad I feel to be leaving this beautiful place and all my wonderful new friends. I’m especially going to miss my fellow artists Marianne and Ji-ii but it’s not the end of our friendship or creative collaboration. Today I’ll post four Anthotype postcards to Pakistan, Paris, Canada and South Korea. Each plastic wallet contains a sheet of beetroot-coated paper and a transparency of a photograph from Harlösa. The recipients (four artist friends including Marianne and Ji-ii) will tape the wallet to a window in their home and return it to me when the Anthotype is ready. Then they will return the exposed coated papers to me, along with a modified transparency with which I’ll create a new Anthotype in England. So our creative conversations will continue across the globe as we share our feelings about the theme: Here I Am, Home is where I Am.
Here are the postcards and the images that are printed on the transparencies. All special memories of my wonderful Arna residency: an experience never to forget that will stay in my heart forever.
