Andre PettersonTo and Fro

The bashing of the senses I encounter when going to unfami l iar p laces never gets t i red.

I ’m cur rent ly work ing with images and thoughts of past years and travel exper iences , F loaters - th ings that percolate and remain unresolved for a whi le , then emerge.

My cont inued fasc inat ion with typewr i ters and o ld b icyc les prov ides me with a catalys t .

Images of car ts or makeshi f t vehic les car r y ing way too much of anything catch my eye: the woman or man with a ver y heavy and large load of s tuf f on their head, determined and res igned to get that package to i t ’s

dest inat ion; the motorbike suppor t ing a fami ly and their belongings , c l inging on whi le navigat ing traf f ic . A lso , intense color scattered in a grey brown landscape is v isual ly rewarding to me.
