Description: "One of my strongest childhood experiences was that of lying in the grass while my grandfather fished. I lay there gazing at the shapes and colours of the clouds drifting across the sky, smelling the grass and flowers around me, hearing the buzzing of the bees, feeling the soft wind cares me and listning to the tranquilizing sound of the water running by, while I felt my body pressing heavy against the earth. It was as if I was dissolving into nature's embrace and into the very stillness of time. The author Halldór Laxness describes how the whiteness of the glacier melds with the sky. This beautiful text describes a profound understanding of the magic of nature; where "beauty alone reigns ... beyond all demands". This is also the essence of the art of Cecilia Edefalk and Hilma af Klint."
Notes: Exhibition held at Nordiska Akvarellmusee, September 27 to November 15, 2009.
