The work consists notebooks of four paintings, which two belongs

Through simple studies of his surroundings, Per Westerlund
sketches and paints in order to relate to reality. Sitting and
observing things that happen to be nearby such as a bottle, can
mean that something ordinary and familiar is experienced as
foreign. The essence of the bottle changes with time and through
the eyes. The unknown aspects of the bottle lead to an interest in
reproducing it. The reproduction becomes a dialogue between reality
and a transient appreciation of it.
Per's room has been reproduced in Notes. Along with the
memories of the room, sketches have formed the basis for paintings
that were done of the school. The paintings are of two small
notebooks are done in an enlarged format that is to scale. For a
period of time, the notebooks were journeying between home and the
studio. A fragmented perception of space, presence and time has
emerged during the process.
