sneak peek
A little close up of the first new print of the new portal series. Currently on display in the Metric Pop Up on Columbia Road (ill be going on about that for a few weeks)
Whole thing to follow. Sooooooooon….
The why? of the quiet.
Boy, oh boy, it sure has been quiet here for a while. For multiple reasons:
1: I went on holiday
2: Work got crazy (im talking 15h days 15 days straight crazy)
3: Work got normal, i needed a break.
4: I started working on something i still can’t share.
5: I started working on something im about to share (see below)
6: Some people had babies they need cards and stuff.
7: I cut my finger. See below below for graphic image (warning: graphic image)
New work for Metric summer pop up on Columbia Rd opening tomorrow! (more to follow)
I cut my finger at work and had to have 6 stitches and the nail taken off (its back on now, temporarily)
I’m thinking it should be in a new print.
Nail now black and red. Named it.Frankenfinger.
Here is another picture from the shop to help you get over the trauma of my finger.
Poor mans love of God
A couple of years ago I got bored and made a blingtato. This was right about the time when Damian Hirst made “For the Love of God” and kids were sticking swarovski crystals on theis phones . Instead of a scull all i could afford was a potato. From Tesco. And some CZs that Luke had lying around… no Diamonds are wasted on potatoes in our house.
The blingtato has been lying around our flat for several years now, and this is what it looks like now. Hard as rock but still shiny!
I saw Hirst’s scull at the Tate last year, it was very shiny. I prefer my own version.
“Poor Man’s Love of Good” or “The Blingtato”

May have posted this before, but i just love it.
Berlin artist Julia Kissina’s Fleischfrisuren (from ’96-’97).
Serious about Facebook
Good news everyone! You can now find me (my art at least) on FACEBOOK! YEY!
I first created a Facebook ‘page’ when they first introduced the “pages” option back in my uni days, but took it down shortly after as i thought it would make me seme like a total douche. But now i have created a new one. I want to share my work people, and Facebook will let me do that. So it really is ‘YEY!’
At uni it seemed pretentious to create an artist page, i mean who did i think i was? Damian Hirt? Some people thought i had done it as a joke. But not thins time. Im serious about my work – so im serious about Facebook.
In other news: Im thinking about water-colours. Seriously.
Now like me on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InaDortheaThuresson
Thanks.
Metric Summer Shop Update
The Metric Collective summer shop is up and running on Columbia Rd, but i have not written about it recently, or about anything at all for that matter. Been very busy, and a little bit lazy. First with the Olympics and now flat hunting.
So the shop is up and running, and will be there until Sunday the 2nd of September, so only one last weekend to see it!
Here are some photos of my work there, before the setup was finished!
