Vilken helg! 💕🌞💕 Väderutsikterna varnade för regn Vilken helg! 💕🌞💕
Väderutsikterna varnade för regn men istället fick vi närmare högsommar idag! 
På lördagen hade vi 22 deltagare och på söndagen 20. 
Jag hade handplockat varje sten från Spanien i somras. Det blev 300 kg. 
Jag börjar med att berätta vem jag är och hur det kom sig att jag började arbeta med sten. 
Sen berättar jag om alabastern, vart och hur den bildats, jag visar de verktyg de kommer att arbeta med på en bit alabaster. 
Sedan går vi till stenarna och de väljer sin bit. 
Efter det startar arbetet! 
Det är alltid lika roligt för mig att vara med om detta! De flesta har aldrig arbetat i sten förut, och att få se hur de griper sig an sitt verk i början kanske lite tvekande inför motiv och i att lära känna verktygen… men så händer något. 
De försvinner! In i stenen, in i sitt verk! Verktygen blir en förlängning av dem, de blir ivriga, modiga, hungriga. 
Ibland blir de frustrerade. Men! De kommer alltid vidare, de antar alltid utmaningen! 
Jag känner mig ärad av deras tillitsfulla frågor; hur gör jag nu?  Jag vill att det ska bli så… 
Jag vill ju inte påverka deras motiv eller vad de ska göra, jag vill bara vara ett redskap för att de ska kunna hitta/göra det de vill. 
Jag ger råd om vilket verktyg och hur de ska jobba för att göra det de vill… 
När dagen närmar sig sitt slut verkar det det ha lyckats! 
De är glada! De är trötta! De är stolta! 
Och det är jag med! 
Delad glädje är sann glädje. ❤️❤️❤️

Clasping each other … perhaps in a praying position? 
Looking forward to show it in the upcoming exhibition at Gallery Artsight, opening the 10’th of October. 
It will also be the first time the monkey in Indian granite meets people outside my studio! ❤️

Environmentally Conscious Art Craft. 
Made by ”left over’s”. ”cut off’s” of a larger sculpture someone else did. 
Why let the small pieces the earth has to offer go to waste?

Welcome to the island Landsort, situated in the so Welcome to the island Landsort, situated in the south part of the archipelago of Stockholm. My studio sculptor colleague and friend Anders Olsson and I was invited by Claes Hultling and his son Emil. We went for a beautiful tour of the island where Claes and Emil showed us many of the sculptures placed on the island. Arthur Hultling, the father of Claes started this project of enriching the island with sculptures placed in the nature. Arthur collaborated with Skulptörförbundet, the Swedish Sculptors Society and many of the members are represented here. 
Please stop the reel where there are photographs with text so that you can read the names of the sculptors and some of the history of the island! 
On the boat over I saw people from both Denmark and Italy, it is well visited by many! There are two facilities where you can stay the night and also three places where you can eat. 
This exhibition continues until the beginning of September. Many sculptures are permanent, being bought by the locals or by the municipality of Nynäshamn. Some sculptures are still for sale. 
Missed naming Inger Sannes and Börje Svedman (and some more!) in my spontaneous, improvised voice over in Swedish. 
But please stop the image so that you can read about the placement and names of the sculptors and also some of the history of the island! 
Thank you Claes and Emil Hultling for your hospitality! 💕🙏🏾Thank you Nalini Bonnier for buying my fish in granite and big thanks to you and you husband Abbe for giving us such a treat with food, drinks and flowers for the fish as I installed it by your seaside! 💕🙏🏾💕
It was also very nice to get to know you Angelica Carlson, who works at Claes clinic, Spinalis, thank you also for all the photos you sent me! 💕🙏🏾
Words and photographs are not enough to describe this place and the people! ❤️ 
I really recommend a visit to this magical Island! 🌞

I’m working on refinishing the bowls I carved in a I’m working on refinishing the bowls I carved in alabaster in Spain this summer. I would say that with especially these forms in alabaster, the refinishing work, to even out all the pits, to straighten the curves… yes curves are straight believe it or not! 😄
I use the diamond file to make the details straight, the carborundum stones to get rid of pot holes, then the diamond sponge to soften away the heavier marks of the stone and file. After that sponge I can continue with sanding paper or a finer sponge.. 
The most common question I get when people who don’t carve see my work is; how long did it take to make that one? 
It’s a difficult question to answer, first of all because I never write up my hours, partly because I often work on several pieces in the same day. 
But I can say that with the soft alabaster stone, if I want it smooth, the finishing work takes longer than the actual carving! 😆

I hope my eyes will become as beautiful as Banda’s I hope my eyes will become as beautiful as Banda’s if I will reach his age, 89! 🥳
He is from Malawi, used to go to our father, Vidal Wilson’s discoteque Shaft. 
Banda came to Stockholm to study agriculture cooperative in 1965 at Sånga Säby Agricultural School. 
After one year of studies in Sweden he went back to Malawi, got a job in Agriculture but he did not get a house from the government. 
The other students who had left with him got both a job by the and a house. But they had relatives in the government. Banda lived with his parents and got up at 04.00 in the morning to walk 10 miles to work. 
He asked the department for a bicycle but they would not give it to him. After that he wrote them a letter saying he wanted to leave, they granted him that with no questions. 
Friends he had met in Sweden wrote to him wanting to come and visit, in the beginning he told them all was fine, but after a while he said the truth, that he didn’t have a job. Then a female friend sent him a letter to go back to Sweden. She also found him a job in a laundry service.
Banda says that it is common that talented student go to Europe to study, medicine for example, but when they go back they are given a job in another field, a lower one. Because of that many of them go back to Europe to work with what they were trained. 
He says people who fought for independence are forgotten. It’s a big mixup now between nepotism, tribalism, ministers and their families and favours. Ministers that favours friends and family.. 
We have agreed that one day we will meet again and I will make a video with him where he tells his story. 💕

Working in stone is a mix of patience and perseverance…the urge, energy & impatience of a lust to see the finished work.
