Trekanten

In his exhibition at Färgfabriken, Mattias Bäcklin presents sculptures and drawings that take their point of departure in nature and in the processes that shape life, material, and landscapes over time. The works often engage with questions of ecological balance, change, and decay, and with how the world is in constant motion—processes that are difficult for us as humans to perceive in everyday life.
