From the art-video Kultur betyder Odla


The Swedish word Kultur means Culture as in Growing. Since I like to grow I felt that I wanted to use the magic of growing in my exhibition with the name Växande [Growing]. In Växande I show paintings, serigraphies, a video and as an interactive part the visitors are invited to plant a wish togeather with a sunflower seed in a bason.

There is so much research and documentation about how important growing is for healing most medical conditions. The patients in all of Sweden's mental asylums used to, just like todays worn-outs, have prooved to become more energetic and happy from growing. As for me it is an extraordinary help to experience the miracle that small dry seeds develop into large, beautiful and tasty vegetation.

When we are in vegetationminskar the stress-hormones are reduced and the physical, as well as the mental well-being is increased. They reduce static electricitety, adjust the indoor-climate, absorb heat ans and sound is reduceed.
