On its website TOBB Malm tells how there was a series of sculptures «Bolt Poetry»: «These bolts I found in the shed of the old farm in the heart of the Swedish region of Bergslagen. They reminded me of the human form, and I felt that they are about something talk. I glows them, bent and twisted, trying to create a relationship, to stage meetings and different situations. Suddenly we emerged from this story of sadness, joy, pain, warmth and humor. So there was a kind of poetry, hence the name. »
