In 2019, I got the commission to print a pattern on the large glass entrance of the recreational building at Källdalsskolan in Uddevalla which was inaugurated in September 2020.

One part of the commission contained working with pupils, and re-use their material in the finished work. The pupils got the task to write down what they really like doing in their free time, except for anything related to a screen. Their contributions were inserted as elements in the pattern of the local map, forming my public art work Stråk. The pupils’ own favourite spare time actions are now imprinted into the building of the recreational centre, where many of them will spend some of their spare time.
