PATH OF ART: Home Sweet Sweden

the month of May

is abundant and lively in Gothenburg- school is still on and everything is blooming- so much going

on I will have to discipline myself to get some art made this time. Everything seems so familiar after having been here last year yet very different

The evening I arrived was the once a month party here. It was

wonderful to connect with friends I had met last year and meet some new ones even if I had been up for a day! There are two

Haitians artists here now who played the drums that night. One of them carves tires

into small figurative shapes also carves wood and his assistant takes grills like air filters off of cars and waters

them down, then drives the car and makes art out of them..fun to see their work!

my friend Cecilia and her son, Milou...he has grown so tall in the last year I didn't recognize him..he turned 13 and is now wearing the leather jacket that was Cecilia's when she was in her teens..

Yesterday I must have walked miles and miles...doing errands, going for an exhilarating walk in the morning, walking downtown to get my Swedish Sim Card, going to local theatre to see what is playing (turns out there is a 3 day indie film festival starting today)

my favorite street where people have their summer bungalows and gardens...the lilacs were perfume in the air, flowers at their peak!! ahhhh so nice

On the way back from town I ran into these 11 year olds who were getting ready to go swimming at one of their houses..they were great..I took a little video of them and they seemed to enjoy being interviewed..the one on the left had been to SF, the one on the right asked me if I spoke Bosnian (that would be a no) ha!
