‘Series of brooches’ Steel, paint
Tore Svensson Sweden
When I arrived in Mexico my view was focused on colours. At that time I was already busy with a project about colours.
One of my last days in Mexico I visited The Floating Gardens in Xochimilco, where you can find boats, gaudily painted, gliding around in the channels.
To come from a long cold winter in Sweden, where people are dressed in grey or black to a sunny Mexico, seemed a huge and obvious contrast. People, houses, cars... in fact, everywhere around you the colours were sparkling.
I have tried to catch them in a series of brooches. For me the black cloud felt far away.
