IA Fragile Position (2022) 10 sculptures tackle the weight of the body and the gravity of the ground, all in different ways and where the wood in the bodies is joined by joints, ropes and knots. Strange Fruit (2023) consists of several circular disk-shaped reliefs, as well as horizon lines of hessian disturbances. In the sculptural collage Sunlight/Moonlight (2023), neon drawing, sculptural sketches, figurative elements and geometric shapes are mixed. Each sketch depicts a movement of its part of the human body and together the exhibition invites its viewers to reflect on the artistic differences between the base material wood and the living neon.
Something is added to give new energy, and maybe even add something new to the story.
