\"\"<\/a>One of the last places\u00a0we visited on my whirlwind trip through Europe was Sweden. It was actually very brief, only half a day as part of a train tour around the coast between Denmark and Sweden, but what a lovely country and what lovely people. This did not surprise me, as my idea of these people primarily comes from getting to know Sweden’s Eva Marie Tornstrom<\/a>\u00a0over these last few years.\u00a0She is a darling and impassioned woman as most anyone could surmise\u00a0from just seeing the emotional and openly honest work in her sculptures.<\/p>\n

I have been watching Eva Marie’s work just bloom for the last several years.\u00a0Her newest pieces have included some surprise elements,\u00a0in particular, these zipper-back horses.\u00a0The surface of the horses are richly textured and with matte colors and cane flowers, and then within the zipper framework, there is this contrast of crackled and shimmering gold.\u00a0I can come up with several metaphors for what she’s done here but this work is created with so much room for your own personal\u00a0connection, so I will leave it for you to fill in those blanks.<\/p>\n

My favorite place to check in on Eva Marie is on her Instagram page<\/a> where you can see the transformation of her work from one project to the next.\u00a0But you can also get a closer look and more details about why she creates horses on her website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
