Fröding’s Beard (Joins the Elements)
Inspired by a photograph of Gustaf Fröding taken at Ulleråker hospital, where his beard appears large and nest-like. The work imagines the beard dissolving into the surrounding elements — wind, birds, sunshine, rain. Developed in relation to Fröding’s posthumous poems Mattoidens sånger (1914), in which stones, snails and rain each carry their own voice.
Part of the group exhibition In the Forest curated by Gabriella Menerwa Kaasinen, Janove Ekstedt and Miriam Kaukosalo
