“The series, titled “Inälvornas Dans (The Inward Dance)” incorporates dried skin parchment made from cowhide. The material – a waste product in the production of leather – bears reference to industrial process and fabrication, while resembling qualities of the human body, internal and external membranes. Sjöberg embalms objects and material from her everyday life: clothing, tools, fur and wood are wrapped wet in the transparent skin then forced together tightly, re-configuring themselves as necessary, to fit within the bound unit, as it dries.” – Dittrich & Schlechtriem, Berlin
