we bring it | drag it along | it becomes part of us | the impact on us when we meet the other one, the other something | gentle or harsh, tiny or hefty, juicy or fragile | whether we wish so or not | we can change the shape, the tone, the function | or at least we can try | but it moves in, inside of us | we have gained a new shape, an addition, a new load to carry

Textile, used or new. Knotted and wrapped together forcefully, added and connected. The textile is black, not (mainly) depicting a black mood, but to give space for the underlying story in the physical appearance of the work. The surface, the shell, the outer membrane, is coated with a layer of wax, glue or epoxy, changing the story, a bit.

Today, the series consists of 27 objects. All carrying their own story. The story is read in the shape, the size and in how the material is handled. The story can be interpreted through the positioning of the work in the space and in relation to us.

Aspiring with a light feeling, heavily laying, laying on a shelf a bit too small, lifted up on legs a bit too thin, jammed against a wall, placed near us, as if it wants to communicate.
