My first public work of art was Unexpected outcome in 1991, a coin glued to the ceiling of the coffee room at the Department of Mathematical Statistics at Lund University. It was a comment about the outcome of a flipped coin which was often used as an example during lectures in probability theory. To my knowledge, the work of art was never formally approved by the university. It took some time before it was discovered in the first place. As far as I know, it remained in place for a couple of years until one day when the glue lost its grip and the coin fell down. I don't know if anyone other than myself ever considered it a work of art.

Nine years later, I created a piece of art, the Concrete Cactus (Betongkaktusen in Swedish), in response to living under imposed esthetical criteria. Some documentation, in Swedish only, can be found here.

Letter scales. A clever construction, you can switch scales by pulling down the lever.

Nio års hattande. My picture of the way to the solution to a difficult task, that took me years to find (though I skipped all the dead ends).

Red monkey. A portrait of a favourite model, the wooden monkey (Designed by Bojesen).

Plyers. It was designed to create a visual impression rather than any specific function.

Something completely different can be found here (though completely in Swedish).
