...I spent at my grandfather's cottage, which is still in the family today. There I would drift along the shoreline and let the stones catch my eye. I collected and collected. The stones never had any real function, maybe they lay on a windowsill until someone cleaned them up. And I collected new ones.

I picked the stones for the collection STRAND (Beach) together with my mother and my daughter. Three generations of women at grandpa's STRAND (Beach), with pockets full of treasures. They have then been cut and shaped by Johnny Juthman from Övermark, just north of Närpes. HAN (He) have the same feeling about the stones as I do, that there is something magical about the ancient material.
