Here is heaths, sand, moss and lichen. Fields and mires. Trenches, cuttings and thickets. Mountains, rivers, streams and an ocean. The ground is being transformed into another kind of landscape where what is small and close becomes something vast. A surface of structure, highlights and glitter.
Sara Forsström works as a painter, sculptor and installation artist in Västerbotten, northern Sweden.
