‘’Frimodig wanders through printmaking techniques from classical intaglio to mezzotint. All on paper, some on the wall and some ethereally sway. Here, strength is evident, with an idiosyncratic and individual stance to the visual which is sprung between the meeting between the past and the present.’’
JC Charpentier Kvällsposten

‘’The way in to this place, is internal. The effect is a strong feeling being present, which seeks its way inside one self- and then back out again to the external. Pure magic.’’
Thorbjörn Lejon Österlen Konst Runt

‘’Frimodig’s prints, especially the large etchings and dry point engravings of female figures have a magical character but also express a palpable sense of sadness. Maybe it’s the deep blackness in the quality of the engraved lines. These convey a sense that it is vital to meet each others gaze to behold, each other. ‘’
Erich Schwandt Ölandsbladet

‘’What makes Speak Up so powerful for me is that there the woman is, here mouth wrapped up making it difficult for her to speak, and yet she continues to do so. It’s as if the wrapping around her throat isn’t a means to keep her quiet, but is a means to enable her to have enough self-love to speak the truth without harmful consequences.

I can sit before Speak Up and ponder these and other questions for long, meditative, and always soulfully refreshing moments.’’
C. Carrington
