Working in process
Right now, I’m doing a lot of sketching for my upcoming project, which I hope to realize during the summer. There are many practical aspects, as I’ve chosen to focus on breaking the project into smaller parts so that I can more easily structure all the elements that require significant work and project management. But it’s during the sketching phase that I can determine the scale and make decisions that will make it easier in the next step to decide on the amount of materials to purchase, as well as, of course, how everything should look aesthetically. There is a lot to consider, which is naturally a bit stressful, but it can also be quite rewarding at times, as it makes you pause and think through fundamental, well-considered decisions that also make things easier when it comes to aspects of realization that are beyond my control, such as obtaining permits from various authorities, since the construction is planned to take place outdoors.

Art Duo Exhibition by
Peter & Rebecca
It has been intense days of exhibition work and snowstorms, but we are very happy about all of you who braved minus 25°C to attend yesterday’s opening at Apotekshuset, Sollefteå. There were many wonderful conversations, and it was a joy to present our artistic practices together for the first time. My and Rebecca’s duo exhibition The Evanescent Landscape runs until mid-March and follows Apotekshuset’s regular opening hours, which can be found on their website. You are warmly welcome!

Explore The Evanescent Landscape – Opening soon
We are pleased to present the upcoming exhibition The Evanescent Landscape, opening in January at Apotekshuset in Sollefteå.The Evanescent Landscape is a collaborative exhibition by Peter Stridsberg and Rebecca Sharp, where two artistic practices come together to explore the landscape as both a physical place and an inner experience. Through photography, drawing, and sculpture, the artists depict the ever-changing states of nature a living archive of memory, time, vulnerability, and responsibility.
The exhibition features works that, through their thematic engagement with contemporary issues of ecology, place, and shared responsibility, as well as their visual and spatial clarity, invite slow reflection and can serve as lasting elements in environments where many people move and meet in everyday life. In a time marked by transition, political unrest, and ecological uncertainty, the exhibition offers a quiet yet hopeful vision, allowing questions of recovery, relationships, and faith in the future to take center stage.
The exhibition runs until March 14. You are warmly welcome!

New year, new plans and a new upcoming exhibition
It’s been a while since I last updated the website about everything that has been happening in my artistic practice, mainly due to a lack of time. But here is a small personal update.
Since early December, I have been working as Acting Director at ÖKKV in Örnsköldsvik, where I am involved in leading and developing the organisation. It feels both meaningful and exciting to step into this role at a time when the association is moving towards new visions and changes.
Shortly before Christmas, I also received some very positive news: during the spring I will be part of a working group focused on artists’ entrepreneurship and professional practice in Umeå Municipality. It feels great to take on additional assignments alongside my own artistic work. At the same time, I continue my teaching in photography at Umeå Academy of Fine Arts.
Over the Christmas holidays, I took the first steps in a new project that I will be working on intensively going forward. It is a project that will require a great deal of construction and physical labour, which makes it especially nice to be able to balance it with other kinds of work.
Soon I will also be sharing news about an upcoming exhibition that I am doing together with Rebecca Sharp at Apotekshuset in Sollefteå. More information coming soon.
