Compensations, Reconstruction and Emergency Horizon - KRETS Gallery 2016
Pencil on paper
2015-2016
Organic formations extracted from their regular context is a recurring theme in the work. Through fragmentation a sense of disruption is generated, which subtly disturbs familiar concepts, creating a void that we have to fill in ourselves. In a series of drawings, entitled Compensations, stone and shell shapes have been brutally cut, metaphorically reminiscent of the human impact on the environment.
Emergency Horizon is a parallel work to the drawings Compensations, these shapes reoccur as white spots on an ocean horizon; a reflection on an often romanticized backdrop, but where something is missing. 139,5x144 cm
Reconstruction
2015
Consists of oversized sea shell formations revolving, both in material and content, around construction and demise. The sculptures are made from mixing buckets with remains and traces of brickwork, that have been cut, turned inside out and reassembled. A symbolic attempt to recreate what the material in itself (plastic made of oil) is in fact destroying.
