Beautiful toolst of creation / Beautiful creation of tools
"Casting is a manufacturing process by which a liquid material is usually poured into a mould, which contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape, and then allowed to solidify."   /wikipedia
I work somewhere between the borderlands of art, crafts and design and create ceramic objects with the will to push the limits of both the material and myself.
I imagine objects behind closed eyes and they come to existence between my hands. I sink into the joy of making, give all my attention to the middle objects: the beautiful tools of creation, experiment with the negative spaces that the not yet created objects leave behind. I capture the process itself in 3 dimensional objects, Lift the moulds up from the casting table, out from the process and place them onto an exhibition podium, showing the beauty and perfection of it to the world.

The pieces are reflections on my own profession, discussion pieces on what is the art piece when it comes to ceramics and how things can switch place and context, resulting high quality artistic objects.
My personal investigation within the meaning and understanding of the making  exploring the process of creation in contrast with the ceramic industry.
This body of work was created at Guldagergaard International Ceramic Research Center, Denmark.
