When my grandfather was a very young man he trained as a journeyman in bookbinding. He came to Hedemora and a workshop, where he stayed till he took over the business in 1905, and he continued working there until my father took over. Producing the leather-bound volumes was time consuming since each step of the process was done by hand and the workshop became with time more modern post printing production oriented.

I spent much of my childhood playing or working in the shop with my father. Although I never considered becoming a bookbinder, the years of intimate contact with the craft provided me with skills and experience which I continue to draw upon.

The first art exhibition I had was in 1967. At that time I was learning how to make prints all on my own. Later I began to paint and explore different materials and techniques in painting and sculpture as well as computer art. Then I was back again with printmaking. It was quite enough for me exploring and develloping the techniques and ways of working with photopolymer and digitally printed images. In the last years I have made a lot of multi colored woodcuts and from that back to painting again -- the CIRCLE CLOSES.

I use in my working process new and old techniques, drawings and digital photography processed in various ways, transferred to photopolymer plates or woodblocks (MDF) and hand printed in oldfashion way.
This combination of new and old techniques is for me a very important process, to feel the security in binding together today and yesterday -- to emphasise the CONTINUUM OF TIME.
