Every material that the universe has created has a purpose of its own. Us humans have from the beginning taken these materials from its original purpose and recreated it to fit our needs. Why did these materials get chosen as a part of our excistance and culture? In this piece I took materials that had been given a new purpose (as clothing) and tried to put the material in it’s original state by ripping it apart into fibres. The material instead got stuck somewhere in between what it once was and what it had been made into. The personality and the energy of the fabrics unveiled itself in the act of tearing the fabric apart. Each material produced a different feeling. I wanted the world of science and the world of the spiritual to meet somewhere in the middle with the installation.

The stone is of the earth just as we are. It is born in the mountain. As it breaks free from the mountain it becomes a unit of it’s own. As time passes that unit becomes one with the earth in the form of sand. Then the sand is taken and made into a whole oncemore by human invervention, in the form of glass. In this work I wanted to work with this process. The glass is forced into it’s original form; the stone. I took a stone from a black beach in Iceland called Gufunes and placed on it sand and glass and put it in a kiln. The glass formed into sort of a shell shape of the rock and peeled of like skin. I then put the glass back where I had found the stone.
