active wood, 2021

This project aims to learn about the qualities of wood as a compliant surface. By breaking up the plank into small components that will build up a new whole—a new surface—I search to challenge and expand our experiences of wood as a static and rigid material. The project originates from a philosophical interest in approaching materials as active agents. How can we experience the relationship between persons and other materialities more horizontally?

The fickle shoe rack - concepts around hallway things and their choreographic impact, 2022

solid maple, solid birch, stoneware, glazes, arenga fibre, zipper, textile ribbon 

The installation is based on the idea of the hallways’ act in a home as an intermezzo - a short dramatic, musical, or light characterful performance inserted between the acts of a drama or opera. With a scenographic view and a conceptual approach, I have explored the hallways’ components in correlation with our subconscious routines within that room. The project aims to discover everyday life choreographies with the material world and challenge the hallways’ practical tone. The wooden and ceramic objects are created with a focus on sensory experiences and particularly their sounds, which together play the hallways’ symphony. 

The project was made in collaboration with choreographer and dancer Ida Kjällquist.
