Dream a little dream

 DREAM A LITTLE DREAM


“Dream a little dream” (2021) is a series of works that explores the phenomena of delusion. The work includes a series of different ceramic objects made from distorted and modified molds of everyday-objects.  Delusion is used as a starting point to generate different sculptural movements and deformations. The collapsed and deformed shapes animate the objects and suggests different narratives. Creating and using the molds in unconventional ways is a constant balance between control and chaos where the creative process mirrors the psychological process.

In my work I’m interested to find out how we categorize and define objects. I can not tell the full story of when or how categorization takes place, but I can describe a personal or sometimes common selection of thoughts and considerations that I find essential in how we look at a man-made object.

For me it is interesting how the rules of language determine how one sees, feels, uses and relates to objects.

History, language, material and function are all key topics in my work which unfold some of the seen and unseen secrets of an object. My object. I find it interesting how communication is determining and defining objects, and I hope you as the viewer will come to question the origin of objects as much as I do.
