Last weekend I went to Helsinki to the opening at @kiasmamuseum of their latest Collection Exhibition where two of my works are exhibited 💌💌 it's Longing/Worry (2022) that you can see in the picture, and in fall it will be my work Bathtub Fight (2024). So happy that they are shown in this exhibition and now part of Kiasma's collection 🫰🫰
"The exhibition explores the diverse meanings and techniques of contemporary-art materials from the 1970s to the present" (Kiasma)
Additional brag: Former Finnish president Tarja Halonen was at the opening and saw my work, dm me for evidence 📸
This Bridge Called My Hand
Join us for the Private View on Wednesday 13th May, 6–8PM Show remains open 14th and 15th of May, 10:30–4:30
Pepys Community Hub Deptford, London, SE8 3BA
Drawing on the embodied and intersectional ethos of the seminal feminist anthology This Bridge Called My Back, this exhibition frames the creative process as another exercise of bridge-building. Through the lens of individual experience, these six artists translate universal concerns into a body of work that connects diverse and perpetually negotiated territories.

Mega late at sharing about this but was blessed enough to be part of the publication 'fiber!' by Lani @doublegemini93 a project incuding interviews with textile artists in Gothenburg, turned out so beautifully <33
Drawing with the intention of it staying a drawing for the first time in like 7 years? Quite fun. This one is a double sided drawing with acrylic markers on paper, ca 120 x 180 cm. First side is called: "warm tears all over my kitchen", second one maybe: "yearning reflection". Xoxo

Third artist announcement:: Esse McChesney!
Esse McChesney (b. 1998, Falun, Sweden) is a textile artist based in Gothenburg since 2018, relocating to London in the fall of 2025. Their practice explores their queer, trans identity through a posthumanist lens. They work mainly with tapestry and embroidery, layering emotions and aspects of self, drawn from experience. Central to their work is entangling dualities such as longing/worry, natural/unnatural, and reality/fantasy. Dualities are further expressed through complementary colours and the raw, untucked threads of weaves’ backsides, evoking the image of it “crying yarn”. These contrasts are often centred around gender-affirming mastectomy scars, serving as symbols of resilience and hope.

Havn't done a selfie collage in years but thought it was a good excuse to post a little life update :^) i have moved from Gothenburg after living there for 7 good years, to London! And today just finished my first week at the MFA at Goldsmiths University. Exitied to get going for real and start making. Wish me luck and come visit me! 🌷🌷
Here is also some better pics of my work Anxious/Hopeful and the little one called Anxious/Hopeful Bonus (also by @pettercohenphoto ). The Bonus one is made from leftover yarn of the bigger one and is meant to give the viewer a chance to feel the materials with their hands.
