Estrid Ericson worked surrounded by personal, cherished belongings such as shells, sculptures, Asian porcelain, beads, jewellery, stacks of newspaper clippings and graphic sheets. Her collections inspired her both privately and at work.
At 83 years of age, Estrid Ericson wrote in a letter: “I am like the old woman who didn’t want to die until she had cleaned the attic. I don't want to give up until all the unregistered stuff I've collected in my room for over 50 years have transformed into something sellable.”
