A glimpse is so brief that it's over before you even have time to think about what it was.

With the work Glimt I hope to lead the viewer's attention to hints of something forgotten or to something that might be possible. The motif in the concrete wall may function as a portal to a state where the conditions of time are reversed.

This place, like all other places, only looks the way it does right now for a very limited period of its total existence.

SARA FORSSTRÖM

Sara Forsström works as a painter, sculptor and installation artist in Västerbotten. She draws inspiration from the heaths of the region, ditches, thickets, mountains, rivers, streams, lichens, sand, moss and soil. Through physical and emotional practices, the artist processes the landscapes she finds herself in, by moving the grounds to the studio and back again. At the same time as the landscapes relate back to her; The iron that is in the soil is also in her blood, the calcium in her skeleton and when she falls, she falls to the ground. Every time.
