Description:
The artwork is exploring my Anglo-Swedish dual heritage experience. The imagery is made in response to my longing for the traditional Swedish red painted cottage and the Falu-red paint more generally. The photographs are composite images from many locations in the north of England and Wales. They are visualising memories from my former home in Sweden. Pine forests, birch groves, wooden houses and lilac bushes, they explore the texture of the the idyllic traditional cottage environment. The only thing that cannot easily be found in the UK is the Falu-red paint. It is what is lost.
