ALLISON GILDERSLEEVE, beside her large canvas.
from the gallery press release:
“It is interesting to note that GILDERSLEEVE, an American with no Scandinavian ties, has had such a warm reception in Sweden, JEOR’S homeland. In a country where light and dark are so important on a daily basis it seems fitting that these two artists have found their way towards a middle ground, where the shadows are numerous but kept at bay.”

on the front desk, don’t miss ERIK JEOR’S – CD !! – ‘BALROYNIGRESS’ !!
which translates roughly, as told by ERIK JEOR himself – as: “fictive potato from Norway” !!

I didn’t get a chance to hear the music – but his art translates amazingly – to this small fold-out concept.

all # 10
this is the CD – when folded up – a really beautiful packaging design and concept.
