spelt, 2021

SPELT was born from a material-based study in sensorial experiences and an ambition to understand what social and ecological sustainability can mean. To find alternative materials, we have to challenge expectations and search for other values. In terms of the ecosystem, with spelt wheat shells as padding and pine from clear-cut free local forestry, SPELT encloses one or two persons. Human and organic materials’ interaction gives forms that change over time, traces in micro and macro perspectives. What do we leave behind?

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.
