Back to work

Photo shoot in Björn Hellström's studio. Johnny is working hard, he understand
we are doing something and he is collaborating in his own way. So much that he
is exhausted when we are done :-)

Spending time in Berlin

Taking it really slow...

Johnny loves Berlin

Everyone, even Johnny, can be a bit more free in Berlin. He grew when he got to have more responsability for his actions.

Hönsestrik a lovestory

Björn Hellström and I have in joint effort (ENGMAN HELLSTRÖM) taken photos for Anna Bauer's new book about knitting - "Hönsestrik a lovestory".

"Hønsestrik - a Danish knitting style from the 70’s, which literally translates into “Chicken Knit”. Hønsestrik is done with bright colours on a double pointed needle, so no purling is needed. The technique seems to have found inspiration in fair isle patterns, but with the Hønsestrik patterns resembling every day objects, animals and people to a greater extent. But besides the very bright colours and naive patterns (which I think look adorable on kids, maybe not so much on grown men with beards…) Hønsestrik is really all about making a political statement and challenging the norms of society at the time." - Knitted Cakes

I didn't know

Where are we heading

Björn and I are working on something new. Well I shouldn't call it new, since it is the next step in our latest ongoing collaboration. Or at least that is what we think, you can never be sure where things land. I do my best to trust the process and my partner in crime.

Just an ordinary friday

You Are Lovely

Ta-da! You are lovely! Maybe you knew it already :-)

This is a collaboration between Björn Hellström and me (Camilla Engman). We call us ENGMAN HELLSTRÖM. This is an ongoing project.

You can now find this print in Studio Morran's web-shop, printed with archival ink on heavy stock archival paper.

Preparations

The exhibition is up and we are very happy with the result! We worked for three days and nights to get it all in place. Loved it all the way. Here is a few pictures from the hanging part, hanging at the gallery and hanging in the city of Vänersborg. The last pic is from the opening, more pics from the show to come.

Excuse my abcense

I'm in work mode. Working towards an exhibition in the beginning of March, together with Björn Hellström. I thought I had two more weeks... but if nothing goes wrong I will still make it. I love this last part, when works override everything and you just go for it. Turn up the volume and work work work. I'm very much looking forward to see how it all turns out in place.

If you can make it, we will be very happy to see you the 4th of March.

Carry on

It takes a long time... and much patience, to do stop motion. But it is a lot of fun!

Back in Gothenburg and my studio

I don't know what happened with the blogging part. It might be Instagrams fault... I'm not sure. For a more frequent update visit me there :-)

A new adventure begins
