THE FINDING I SOLHEM – ART COMMISSION IN SÖDERTÄLJE
Public commisson at Solhem förskola (kindergarten) in Glasberga/Södertälje. Collaboration with Annika Petersson.
If you listen carefully, you can hear tales of the trolls who used to live in the Glasberga area, and of how they are still buried in the mountain. About a hundred years ago, findings that strengthened the theory began to be uncovered around the area. You see, when the sun hits the troll, it turns to stone. But no need to be afraid, symbols will help keep the troll in place (like runes for protection and strength, the hamsa, and next to the fist is a rungalder – magical staves – a combination of runes that works as a spell). The excavation site was completed in December 2022 and in February 2023 and exhibition about the site opened at Södertälje konsthall – Fynden i Solhem.
