2009-06-18T14:15:00.001-07:00

eljest art collective is expanding
and we are proud to introduce our new member
peter queckenstedt.

peter is from canada, but moved to umeå, sweden, two years ago to study industrial design.
peter has recently graduated from his programme at UID (Umeå Institute of Design, Umeå University), but even though he got a new title as industrial designer he prefer to call himself designer/artist. "i never liked that title. it's boring".

eljest art collective goes along with peter by finding him an really good artist in many ways!
...and who cares about titles anyway? it's what you make and think that matters.
you are what you want to be and indentities always change.

besides design and art peter loves mixing music and hunting raccoons.

welcome.
happy happy joy joy.

we are here/schmäckkompaniet.
