Mattias Lundin — Gothenburg, Sweden

“Different materials have different challenges. Cardboard is lovely to work with and has a lot of nice, natural flaws, but sometimes it can be hard to predict how different colours will behave on it. I learned the hard way that neon colours can easily be scratched off from the surface.”
