Ingela Ihrman’s art is rooted in the intense emotions of everyday life and a desire to understand, question, or express what it means to be a living being. She is particularly fascinated by the emotions associated with coexistence, loneliness, and desire. Dressed in sculptural, handmade costumes made of simple, familiar materials, she sometimes pretends to be something else, such as a pinecone or a giant clam.

In Kerstin Björk's work, embroidery emerges without predetermined goals, through a partially automatic approach. With the thread, she attempts to capture thoughts and mysteries while simultaneously creating her own. It is about exploring and shaping nature and nature magic, and also about an underlying awareness of the prevailing climate changes. It reflects humanity's ability to exploit rather than to become a part of the Earth's resources.

(she/her · f. 1984, Linköping)

(she/her · b. 1981, Örebro) Sara Wallgren (b. 1981, Örebro) lives outside Vetlanda. She often works with drawing, sound and sculpture as a language. Her works are like carefully executed material studies where the physical surface becomes a resonance base for what cannot be heard – vibrations, signals, mental movements. Through the pencil line, the electrical resistance of graphite and the discipline of repetition, she seeks to trace states of concentration, worry or presence.
