Screen Print
To finish the Portfolio Boxes, I needed to get a title on the box. The most common solution when having a hardback cloth cover is using metal foil and printing with metal cliché under heat. Since I didn´t have access to the necessary equipment, I decided to screen-print the title on the box. I have never worked with screen printing before, and with that in mind, I think the result is satisfactory, thou a few of the samples are not up to scratch.
Clamshell Box
For the last few months, I have been working on a portfolio box for a collection of images from the Barriers book. After extensive testing and working out details, I have now finished making approximately ten boxes. The boxes are in a clamshell design and follow the instructions of Darryn Schneider. The cover material is the same green Brillianta Calandre cloth used on the Barriers book. Other materials used are PVA glue and 2mm greyboard.

The show is part of the Photographic Path arranged by Gothenburg Diocese cultural cooperation, Church of Sweden. The book is available at Publisher Arena´s boot located at E05:12.
Aletsch Glacier
Aletsch is the largest glacier in the Alps, located in the Canton of Valais. Like all glaciers today, it is retracting, and most of it will melt down in the not-too-distant future. I wanted to visit the glacier to make photographs for a future project. Luckily, I got a grant from Helge Ax:son Johnsons Foundation to make the trip and get on the glacier. You are not allowed to access the glacier on your own since it's full of crevasses and precarious. Kilian Volken from Bergsteigerzentrum in Fiesch helped me access the glacier, and I made several breathtaking and interesting images.
