auf widersehen hammarkullen - mosaic project is over

We have finished the mosaic in Hammarkullen, Göteborg —for this year... I will miss my crew. This project has had a big heart and is one of the most fun I've been part of, ever.

Suburban life is absolutely different than inner city, but often I was reminded of my smaller home town. People are closer and everybody knows everybody, always someone to ask for help that will say "yes".

Dona, Hani, Mazlum and Saber, thank you so much for this Mosaikfabriken 2013 part two!

Snow has fallen, now we just have to wait for better weather before the cherry trees can be planted and spring picknicks.

berlin - street art

F

 Schöne Ecke Prenzlberg - Corner of Kollwitz/Wörtherstraße.

Photos from Berlin weekend trip two weeks ago. A long Sunday walk in Friedrichshein and Prenzlauerberg, public art all around.

Konstepidemin was open for Christmas last weekend. Love the well dressed Christmas trees the most.

mosaic project part two

We are getting close to the finish line for the second part of our Hammarkulleparken mosaic. The first part was so successfull that a quick decision was made to continue. It was afternoon work for me Saber and Mazlum, Dona and Hani joined us after school for the four week production phase. Nine free standing concrete benches are filled with colors and motives. This time the artistic work had more individual themes - sports, tropical, celebrations of people, patterns...

Last week all mosaic was fixed, after we changed location to a parking deck in one of the apartment blocks in Hammarkullen.

And next week the benches will be placed close to the two entrances to the park.

I am happy, tired and excited. Thankful to all people involved who always say "Yes" and come up with solutions.

A totally different cooperative work Fine cell work, that yet again proves the power of making.
Thank you Henriette Ousbeck for the full story (in Swedish).
