MAY DAY 2024
In Sweden, the day before Mayday is celebrated through bonfires and torch-lit marches. This year, my daughters and I started our own tradition. We replaced torches with golden dandelions, marched to a secluded spot, formed a circle filled with flower heads and celebrated the sun, transformation, and new beginnings.

I'm delighted to have my work included in Kel Portman's May Day project, an assemblage of artworks created on May 1, 2024.
Alongside artists Suze Adams, Sabine Crittall, Jaqui Stearn, Amanda Couch, Kate Roberts, Tamsin Grainger and Kel Portman, we were responding to the theme of marking May Day, with ambulation, walking, or the act of walking as a key element in our creative process.
