Information about the artist / the group

I am 67 years old and on pension. I make pinhole photography and graphic art.
For pinhole photography I use self made cameras. In pinhole photography I prefer double exposures to same paper. I want to create something new not to make a document. I take also solarigraphy photos and for that I use cameras which I have made of metal spice cans. I have had my photos in several countries in festivals and exhibitions.
Graphic arts I make by using aquatintetching and a little bit dry point. I also paint some part of the print with golden water color.

Program during Konstrundan

My intention is to tell visitors about the pinhole photography technique, which seems unfamiliar to many. I have both my photographs and the cameras at home, so I can easily illustrate how the technique works. I also plan to talk about my printmaking. However, I am not able to carry out a full working demonstration at home.
