I got my four unique artists Days of Laughter I-IV back from the bookbinder Flodstrands a little more than a week ago. I’m so pleased with them! All those little details in the bookbinding –...

As part of my preparatory work for process book 2 and 3 I'm trying to properly document all the sketches I always make before arriving at the final art pieces. My work process involves many s...

These tiny print-outs of my drawings (made to better plan my photo session) look just like the real drawings, don't they? This is the real thing, though. Each drawing measuring 70x50 cm....

I've just had a photo session day at the studio documenting some new work but also taking some better photos of older art pieces. It's weird - even though I've been taking photos of my art fo...

The publication course also made me think more of the possibilities to use printed material as art. I made four unique books of laughter called "Days of Laughter". Part of this work can be seen i...

The book is called "LAUGHTER graphite eraser paper" (in Swedish though) and contains photos of my work in process, drawings in my studio, finished art pieces, som shorts texts and an interview wi...

I just took a publishing course at Valand Academy (one semester halftime). Not only did we explore digital publications and pdf format, but we also made some paper publications. We finished the c...

In July I went on a well deserved vacation on Crete with my family  and enjoyed as well some free time in Sweden doing those special summer things - like picking wild raspberries.  ...

In April and May I continued with my Land Art project developing the methodology and giving many workshops for preschoolers.  May came with beautiful weather and I participated with...

2016 was a horrible year for me privately, especially the first half year. Which is one of the reasons why I took a break from blogging. But I do not wish to linger on that subject - profession...

Right now I'm having an extremely busy period; sketching for a public commission, attending long meetings in Stockholm for the Swedish National Artists' Association and right now I'm spe...

I've been working with form-cut laughters for some time now - but it's just recently that I feel like I've started to find the way to use them properly. I've felt that I wanted to work with th...

Right now I have a small exhibit at Bageriet (= the bakery) at Konstepidemin where I show my recent and ongoing work with laughter, balloons and the colour pink (a colour I dislike very muc...

I've been absent from the blogg for some time now (almost a year!)  - but now I'm back! Blogging had lost some of its allure, but recently I've been feeling that I missed many things with it...

still laughing

http://alexandrahedberg.blogspot.com/2015/10/blog-post.html

I still have my balloons in my studio (since January/February last year). I'm fascinated by the fragility and beauty in their ageing. I'm not sure how to use this yet, but it will come...

Almost two weeks ago me and my studio neighbours opened up our studios as part of GICBA extended (GIBCA = Göteborg International Biennal for Contemporary Art). I managed to take photos of so...

Just finished my third drawing focusing on the process of drawing and laughing. I've been taking photos all along to be able to make a kind of stop motion animation. (Even though it might not ...

Yes, it's the drawing I was working (jumping) on in June. Hard to judge size, isn't it? It's approximately 150 x 150 cm
