HEARTS / COEURS
COLLECTIF
- Sculpture installation.
Mixed media, varied dimensions.
2019.
Found objects where the starting point for the organic forms. Twigs, oyster shells and other found debris became the components for this organic objects.
In an installation of several hearts it provokes towards a collective of organs, individuals of same function adjointing around themselves. Floating in the space like an already predetermined fossilic cenotaph of life passed.
ASK & EMBLA GEN 1
Varied dimensions. Approximately 240 x 140 cm. Plaster, branches, acrylic.
2018.
Installation: fragments sculpted from my body, tree / branches, acrylic paint.
This sculptural installation originates from casts from my body. My performance expression to sculpt on my own body.
Fragment of a self-portrait, or negative preserving the impression of the body. I stack, balance the fragments, like stratifications with innovative suggestions for forms and expressions. A branchwork painted in red completes the form like a circulatory system for this fragmented body. Transformations from past to present meet.
BEHEMOTH
- Painting Object Assemblage 1.
Mixed media
2019.
Painting Objects: paintings realised through a process of tentative continous research of painting formats. From flat format and thereafter "mouldy" destroyed in storage.
This intervention of natural causes perplexed the form and possibilities of each painting. To be entwined and interweaved together, adaptable to the space of which they are habitating,.
IDUN
Idun - Decompositions 2, 2019.
Apples, pomegranates, plaster, plaster-bands. Varied dimensions
2019
This installation takes form in an extensive outgrowth. Apples and pomegranate apples are the sources of this outgrowth.
These are fixed together by strips of plaster, neat, they remain inevitably inert.
These fruits have been manipulated by the gesture of man's voracity. They will decay with time, decompose, rot and in a perpetual flow change appearance.
These fruits dialogue a sense of mythology, an environmental and ecological conflict. Bridging together the antipodes as an allegory of desire, immortality.
Remiding us that: Nothing is forever.
CONFLIT RÉSOLU -
Installation Mixed media. Rotundan .
Solo exhibition, public installation in the Rotunda, Customs House.
Tullbron, 39231 Kalmar, Sweden.
2021.
During a kind of conflict and regression, a tendency was discovered in me that rubbed and gave friction, which had an expression in the material beyond the borders of the canvas.
This installation returns to a state at the transition between painting and sculpture. Then the reflection on the easel as a sculptural object may be expressed in thought.
Contaminated with paint, the easel was alternated, and further clad in new material, the form may be transformed into a new depiction. I transition between deconstruction and reconstruction took the painting claim and frees its attachment to the frame and changes into forms of sculptural structure. The previously stretched fabrics, now soaked in mixer and paint, were shaped into new sculptural forms.
All of these previously are then allowed to take place in relation to the room.
A disassembly and alternation of each received structure / support. The liberation of the ordinary medium and the ideologies that underlie it. Give equal importance to materials, creative gestures and final results.
