Image of white paper napkins I found thrown in the streets in Krems, Austria, the only garbage I could find there.
Searching for traces from human activity that can tell about the state of current life. For this images, "Clean I-IV", I have worked with rubbish on the streets. From photos I turn it into new objects by transfer it in different ways to intaglio prints.

Ann-Kristin Källström

Born in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1958, I presently reside and work in the northern region of the country. My professional journey, steeped in the realm of visual arts, has spanned since 1997, where I have immersed myself in various printmaking techniques, both traditional and experimental. Between 2001 and 2005-2008, I assumed the role of head teacher, overseeing the printmaking program at two art schools in Sweden.
Beyond my commitment to printmaking, I am actively involved in art and exhibition projects. My endeavors extend to writing and photography assignments focused on the art domain, with my contributions consistently finding a place in art websites and publications. In acknowledgment of my artistic contributions, I received a one-year working grant in 2018 and a two-year grant in 2019 from The Swedish Arts Grants Committee. Presently, my creative focus revolves around the project titled "Northern Sweden's Inland and Mountain Areas”, where I aim to explore and encapsulate the essence of these regions through my artistic lens.
