'linn fernström'
Today the mural painting by Linn Fernström was inaugurated by The National Public Art Council,
the architects and the builders. Vice-Chancellor Ursula Hass from Blekinge Institute of Technology cut the ribbon and months of painting and years of planning was over.
The work seize the high and long room and embrace it. The painting give the story possibilities to continue in other spaces. You can see it from every floor and from the spiral staircase.
It is the first public art work by Linn Fernström and she described the differences between painting in solitude in her studio and being able to walk back and forth to be able to see the totality and measure it with the body – and the environment here were people constantly move around her and the restraint by scaffolding. The result is however overwhelming.
We meet a girl with loose marionette-strings attached to wolves.
The grey-scale dominates the painting, while exotic budgerigars in different colours fly around and creates even more illusory space around us. Like greetings from other cultures.
Opposites like wild and tame comes to one’s mind. Nature and culture. Consciousness and the subconscious.
Does the girl follow the wolves or is it the other way around? Or, can they give and take?
Is the girl really balancing on the end of the ladder?
Are they playing a game with unsecure ending?
