SMACK
Some ingredients are essential to make work. A mix of interesting ideas, good materials, supportive colleagues, energy giving snacks, the right tools at the right time and then SMACK! There you have it!
When temperature is moving resolutely downwards here in Göteborg it is useful to have a good reason to visit Barcelona. 2016 I won the Enjoya’t award. The prize included a stand at Joya – Barcelona Art Jewellery Fair 2017. In the beginning of October when it’s getting darker and darker and when the rain and wind does its best to crawl under your skin a trip to the capital of Catalunya seams like the perfect prize!
Connected to Joya there is a satellite program; Offjoya and together with four fantastic colleagues we also presented an exhibition at Ingallery.
