Now I´m going to tell you a story about the three men and a monkey. They are the lead characters in one of my art projects.
It first started out with a wall piece that I was planning to create in glass and silver.
It started out well in the beginning...and this is a picture before it went in to the oven and 800 C.(this is the silverpart)
There is no afterpicture... but I can tell you as mutch as it didn´t work out very well, definitly not how I expected it to be. I strongly believe that the three men and the monkey didn’t get along to tell by the new look they had after the firing!
Anyhow, I really wanted to carry out this piece so I picked up the pieces and started over. I decided to do a big glass bowl instead, but with the same four characters. And the result...one broken glass bowl and one man down!
I started to feel kind of irritated because of the man that gone under but I made a new man, picked up the pieces of the other two and created a new monkey (I suspect that the monkey could be behind all of this!) That piece also came out broken…and what’s left of it you can se here. A ring with only the monkey! I have put the men in a safe place for now…
Feeling stylish in the studio today haha. Making some experiment and crushes glass to melt. Do you have a bad day?Do you feel the need to crush something? You are welcome to help :-)

Today I got a letter. It was a article from a newspaper in USA. Thanks Ulrika for sending me that. Kind of surrealistic to read about myself in a newspaper so far away, but it makes me happy :-)
Some of it is already with new owners, some you can find in Carina Björck Gallery Stockholm, some of it will be shown at The Gallery By The River, Maryland USA during the whole summer 2010. And some of it I will keep for my self :-)
