Den Vilda Metallen

I’m delighted to share a four-page feature in Epoch Times Sverige (issue 43, week 44, 2026): “Den vilda metallen” (The Wild Metal), by journalist Anton Anderberg.

It follows my nearly 30 years with copper: the experiments, the mistakes that turned into new work, and the way the material always keeps a little of its own will. It also visits my studio outside Ystad and covers the copper books, the portrait of Daphne Caruana Galizia at the European Parliament, and the Kantilena commission in Valletta. I am very grateful to Anton for listening, for his words and for sharing my love of books, and – always – to Emma Larsson for her photographs.

The article is in Swedish and appeared in the print and e-paper editions of Epoch Times Sverige in October 2026. It is available online here.
