Commission for Uppsala municipality
2023 / 24.
Stardust was made for Lövstalöt/Bälinge, a developing suburb to Uppsala. I’ve was working closely with a nearby carehome for young adults with downs syndrome and in particular with Tessan and Martin and their carer Bella. The work has included workshops with them in Uppsala, they came to Småland for 4 days to participate in the glassblowing and I’ve cast their hands in my studio which will become an integral part of the glass and aluminium part of the sculpture.
The work is a celebration of every grain from geological strata, to the cosmological and the existance briefly as a body on earth. The art consultant is Björn Norberg.
The production has happend with The GlassFactory, Vadstena Konstgjuteri and Zaarstone AB.
