As a young and lost teenager, Lars Lerin sat among the dandelions at the home of his neighbors Astrid and Arvid and painted his first painting, an oil painting on masonite.
Astrid’s way of keeping to herself, of being different, reflected Lars’s feeling of not fitting into the norm, even if it was in a different way. Here, with them, his storytelling began – what was difficult to express with brush and paint instead found its form in the notebook.
The Silent Kitchen was first published in a small edition twenty-five years ago, and is now being reissued to become available again.
