Change is simultaneously linear and cyclical. This constant change happens everywhere around us, but also within us. All matter – living and non-living – slowly fluctuates in an eternal process of becoming, never returning quite how it once used to be.
Paper, as a material, captures the spirit of transformation in how it was made, and when we use paper it changes again; it becomes a book, an origami, a piece of trash. By experimenting with various materials and turning them into paper-like objects I try to gain understanding of the eternal flux of matter and the cyclical processes of becoming.
Materials: Paper, zucchini, onion, plastic, leaves, pine needles, steel, copper
The hand-sewed surfaces explore the connection between making, crafts and creativity. Focusing on simple crafts can offer calmness, a way to be
grounded and present through repetitive work led by intuition and freedom. The outcome is a dialogue between the fragile, subtle material and the working hands.
‘I have always been here’ is a ceramic and audio installation where women are invited to listen and connect to Mother Earth. The designer embodies the voice of the cosmos, summoning the sun and moon, the elements of nature and the cycle of life in one novel ancient ritual. The ceremony is set around ceramic rings centered by one sphere, that broadcasts the voice of the Earth.
In my project I put focus on the process of interaction with material. I work without sketches or expectations of the final outcome. My intention is to experience a full cycle of clay, so I prepare it myself straight from the ground. The practice reflects anthropologist’s Tim Ingold’s theory on thinking through making.
