Research proposal

The following document is my supplied research proposal to the University of Stockholm. Almost 20 years ago I had to leave my archaeology career as “there were no jobs” (there were, but company internal politics dictated there weren’t). Now, with the Corona-mess going on I’m looking to possibly complete my Ph D. There are some obvious problems related with this (finances) and questions about the source material (do we have enough) but we will see what happens with this.

Cursed

There is a new (17th of July 2020) show on Netflix called “Cursed”. One of the writers is the legendary Frank Miller, so shouldn’t be too shabby.

The writer argued that the conservative party did the right thing – focusing on “Law and order”, “Immigration” and “Nuclear power”. Fair enough – but what makes them standout among the right-wing parties that already have those areas as …

Watercolour

The assignment here was to take a photo and turn it into a water-colour painting. In the original photo it isn’t quite clear if the background is a sea or a field. I chose to make it a sea. With islands in the distance. The bright white-ish blot in the mountain is a very reflective …

Text and vine

Photoshop – 2019: This was made as an exercise in bending an image and make interact with the background image(s). I originally had the idea of using two branches of leafs but I never got it to work properly, I probably did something stupid. I used the provided branch and bent it to cover a …
