The Journey
Where it all comes from...where I am going...

My Dad, Carl, could make anything out of nothing and did. He was the begining. I owe him alot! I miss him...

Welcome to my "The Journey...Where it comes from...where I am going" page!!! It has been a long time coming and it feels good to have it underway. My work is very connected with what I do, see and experience and here I will share that connection so to help you understand my work in a renewed light. What I will do here is continue a informal dialogue using not only my words but photos I take on this Journey! I now have the ability to update this site myself and can do so on a daily basis if I choose. That to me is very exciting!! I hope you enjoy it!

Stephan self-portrait in Mirror...I find mirror portraits to be rather fascinating

Midnight sun at the Ancient Mounds where I slept on a large stone alter as ancient ghosts whispered to the night, actually 2:30 Am in Uppsalla that light that we long for every summer which lasts only moments, here in the Nordic North it lasts for hours!

Road to Hotspring Oasis, 30 miles of dry lake bed meandering to the hotspring...very interesting,no traffic and warm beer

My Cousin David Ludvigsson at Ancient Menhir (standing stone) Legend has it that an angry Pagan God threw this spear of a stone from afar because of a Christian church that was being built in the area. Of course this stone was heft in place I believe a long time prior to Christianity! Do not hold me to my Swedish history! David...?

In the spring of 1999 I was awarded a McKnight Fellowship along with a Jerome foundation Travel Grant. With that grant I traveled to Scandinavia, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Estonia. I visited relatives, traveled to Homelands near the Arctic Circle and studied pre-Christian monuments and stone works including standing stones, menhirs, circles, portal graves,Hill Forts, ship graves, mounds and Burial Pyres. The prpose of this study was to connect the relationship with my ancient Nordic past with my work that was evolving in a very ancient and Mystrious style. I found that this connection was much more of a reality than I ever amagined! Her eyou will find some of those images.
