Calf Dog, 2025
Ceramics
The work is part of the installation
Stage for a play, inspired by science fiction and fiction books. Based on this inspiration I have written my own stories that take place in a dark, barren landscape where time seems distorted, and the audience is invited into parallel stories and events. The landscape is populated by different types of creatures, and perhaps the landscape is on another planet or in another time, or here and now but invisible to the human eye. Time is distorted, and the past, the present and future coexist in a poetic sliding state. The installation is a snapshot of a moment in time that we can now observe from all angles. At first, the calf Dog was small, only about 10 human centimeters wide. It wandered around the landscape for a long time, getting stuck in muddy fields but getting up again. It was small but strong and grew. Why something starts to grow can sometimes be difficult to know, as there are so many factors to consider. Perhaps it was just too small for the landscape it lived in. It grew and grew and grew. Its skin began to stretch, but its organs, limbs and skeleton began to grow more than the skin itself. Its organs began to bulge out of its skin until they finally began to pierce through it. The pressure from everything inside became so strong that the Calf Dog finally exploded. Pieces flew across the landscape and landed everywhere. It may seem extreme, but this is a creature that is constantly changing. Now the Calf Dog begins the process of rebuilding itself. The creature’s inner core pulls all the pieces back together and tries to find every single one of them in the dark landscape. The work is exhibited at Bildmuseet in Umeå, Sweden.
