This work is based on two objects recognizable from everyday life – a lump of earth and a white tile. They are based on material from the same origin, but have very different outcome. The tile is industrially made, created by the demands of efficiency and optimization. The clay used in this work I have excavated from a terminal moraine from the last ice age.

It is a work with focus on the concept of materiality in terms of its own conditions and its independent acting. By perceiving materiality as an active presence I seek to create a new kind of sensitivity. I set out to show the observer that the materiality we choose to have in our surroundings is anything but passive and neutral.

In the borderland between control and randomness, I fuse together two objects in a repetitive manner. By repeating the same process the tale of materiality having active character and content is visualized. The aim is to make the audience aware of beauty in nuances and diversity. An aesthetic tale based on the elements of nature unfolding in a controlled setting.
