This year, there are two exhibitors in Bakstugan Tived: Enar Philipsson from Laxå who exhibits his wooden artworks and Maria Tingvall who grew up in Tiveden and exhibits her artistic photographs. Enar reuses materials he finds for his artworks. If you look closely at the pieces of wood, you can see that it can come from really old planks, it shows in the deep ring grooves. Often he finds shapes when he is out in nature, he then creates something new from these. Sometimes he combines it with old things that can be reused in new formats. In the exhibition there are pure works of art such as abstract figures and birds, there are also beautiful objects of art such as butter knives and napkin holders among many other things. Maria plays with the light to bring out the feeling in the pictures. She uses a technique where the camera is rebuilt and can be used to photograph in the infrared color range, which creates a surreal and imaginative feeling in certain lights, such as when the chlorophyll-filled leaves of the trees reflect all the infrared light and turn white in the image. It is the same technique that is used for dark photos and some satellite photos, but with a normal camera where some filters have been removed. The pictures were taken while walking around Sävsjöfallet in Tiveden. Bakstugan is located in the middle of the Tivedsskogarna along horse-riding, canoeing and cycling trails and is well located for a small leg stretcher even for motorized vehicles. The exhibition can be visited Wednesday-Monday until August 25 and Saturday Sunday until September 10 Opening hours: Until August 25 Wednesday-Saturday 12-6pm Sunday-Monday 12-4pm August 26-September 10: Saturday-Sunday 12-4pm
