The artist duo aghili/karlsson and their fellow artist collaborators from the kindergarten HallonEtt in Huskvarna have created a work in three parts aimed at children and fairies.
The work consists of a flowering meadow, an interactive gate that leads into the meadow and ‘kojan’ - a stick house that visitors can continue to build on during the summer. The gate is just high enough for fairies and small children to pass through. It consists of detachable watering cans that one can use to water the flowers of the meadow. One reaches the ‘kojan’ located on the meadow through a serpentine path. Its shape reflects the “fikakojan” (coffee hut) that the children at HallonEtt have built themselves at the Pustaleden.
