In the the project Framför, bakom, innan, efter I explored the relationship between material, place, and time. In an exhibition in Gerlesborg (2022), a 6-meter-high installation of hand-spun linen ropes, dyed in indigo was suspended and. displayed along a granite cliff. After the exhibition ended and three months outdoors, I unraveled the ropes and wove a series of textiles with the same threads. The experience on the granite wall and the influence of the weather could be seen in the variations and wear of the warp threads, adding an additional layer of information that was beyond my control over the material. The series was later shown in the exhibition Resonanser (2024) at Raum Gallery in Stockholm.
