Today I live since 1998 in the region of Österlen in the southermost landscape of Skåne in Sweden. Here I live in a small house, Stenarvet ("The Heritage of Stones"), built in the 1840's. It is adjacent to the nature reserve of Listarumsåsen, a still "undiscovered" area in the region.

At this site I am making the ordinary domestic stoneware that pay my bills, but also some smoke fired pottery, and the salt glaze kiln I have dreamt of all my life is coming into building this summer of 2004.

Around the year 2000 I was completely fed up with the selling of the repetetative work and seriously questioned if I really wanted to go on as a potter. I had an opportunity to go to the U.S. where I stayed with different native American nations. I was inspired by the shadows from the past still vividly apparent in today's art and philosophy of life. I now live with these thoughts daily, living an almost ecologically perfect life out here. I spend my non potting time gathering fire wood, growing my own vegetables and constantly seeking new knowledge from nature. I learn something new every day from plants and the wild animals. I sometimes think of a meeting with John Leach, who has made a pond nearby his pottery and claims that was the most important work in clay he has ever made. I feel something similar here in the daily meeting with nature, to talk to animals and plants gives me the strength to continue the road of making an even better pot tomorrow than the one I made today.
