Saturdays and Sundays both have two shows, so this month, Mondays are my \u201cSundays\u201d. Sleeping in, taking things easy. But taking things slow does\u00b4t mean sitting on the couch watching TV, doing nothing!<\/p>\n
The other day I received an invite from the folk high school where I used to work. Every year they host a Peace-festival, and this years theme is \u201cPeople displaced\/fleeing\/running away from war (What on earth is the correct English term here?!)\u201d I thought about it for a while, and found it quite a depressing subject, and I didn\u00b4t want to paint a picture of some orphan or poor asylum seeker or the equivalent. Instead I thought. What is important to me, to us? What would it be like if I had to leave everything behind?<\/p>\n

So I decided to sew a picture (freestyle machine embroidery) of an everyday scene, and simply remove the main characters. Since I am usually the photographer, I\u00b4m not in many pictures, so I had to be a little free in my own interpretation. Using a family-photo of two of my close family-members, posing in London. The embroidery is black polyester thread on white linen (with two layers of cotton underneath for support) and is 21x 18 cm (+ the white fabric frame around). &nbsp;Not sure exactly how to mount it, so I\u00b4ll leave it for now. But I do like it, and will definitely make more in the same technique.<\/p>\n
I\u00b4ve called the picture \u201cOur life without us\u201d<\/p>\n
