Summing up 2016: July - September

In July I went on a well deserved vacation on Crete with my family 

and enjoyed as well some free time in Sweden doing those special summer things - like picking wild raspberries. 

In August I was back in the studio giving my aging balloons some attention and finally getting to work on my own art (all spring was dedicated to making money).

In the end of September I went with my family to Greece again; this time when it was not so hot - so we could visit all those ancient sites.

Meanwhile I participated in a group exhibition about Public Art at Galleri KC in Gothenburg.

times passing

I still have my balloons in my studio (since January/February last year). I'm fascinated by the fragility and beauty in their ageing. I'm not sure how to use this yet, but it will come. And now I have fresh balloons (since May) that will also age - but people keep asking me if I've had a party?

You can never get too much balloons, right?

my aging balloons

since February 2014 I have these 200 balloons in my studio - they age very differently ... some look brand new, some just shrink slowly, some shrink getting sticky - and others go from prefect looking to fragile and dissolve into dust in just a couple of weeks ...

more celebration!

My company - as an artist - will celebrate its 10th anniversary in May. Oh, my - times flies! This probably also calls for some serious thoughts about what I'm doing right and wrong .............................................  but for now I will just blow my 200 pink balloons in my studio and hardly work.

I mean work hard.

UPDATE: hardly work turned out to be more correct
