TABULA RASA 

I have photographed a white paper and made wishes each day during a year. It all became a  kind of a prayer and an investigation how the artistic work can interact with ones basic needs of desire and hope. Exhibition at Joar Konstfönster, Enköping.

HIDDEN GODESSESS

A projekt about the return of goddessess in a society who have oppressed them for thousands of years. Exhibitions took place at the art gallery Händelsehorisonten and the Gåxsjö church in Jämtland. My photographic works ”The veil” and ”Signs” captured iconographic pictures about the veil. The exhibition was a part of Gåxsjö kulturdagar and a collaboration with Konsthallen Händelsehorisonten, Hammerdals konstförening and Jämtlands Läns Konstförening.

SANITARY RITUAL

Cleansing through water has been ritually significant in many cultures. The Covid-19 pandemic has given us even more cleaning rituals. Everything get washed off, perhaps also our facade? The artwork describes a woman that intensively gets rid of traditionally feminine attributes, such as hair curlers, wig and make-up. Through her private ritual she is peeling of layers after layers and in the end she founds herself.Florence Montmare and Charlotte Åberg have investigated modern rituals, both in their respective practice and also in their co-operation ”Phantasme”. 
Florence Montmare and Charlotte Åberg, takes part at the exhibition "Isolation | Communication" at Färgfabriken with “Sanitary Ritual 24”.  Isolation | Communication is an exhibition initiated by the curator group Muskot in collaboration with Färgfabriken, born out of the prevailing  covid-19 epidemic, June 2-14, 2020.
