The exhibition Ancient gods (Gamla gudar) was at Galleri hantverket at Götgatan 63 from the 31 of January until the 19 of February 2015.
The theme was the gods of Asgard. I portrayed some of the key characters and monsters in ceramic sculptures and bronze accompanied by series of portraits of the sculptures printed using the Epson Digigraphie system.
