Askoid Collection 2021, cellulose, pigments, oil paint.
The Askoid Collection presents a group of askoid vessels that are
represented in two dimensions so that they cannot fulfil their
original function. Various arrangements of the group with different
references are proposed, transforming their functionality into a symbolic
potential.
MEGA
The motifs in the Mega collection are small vessels for oils, perfume or milk. These
functional and at the same time ornamental objects played a fundamental role
in everyday life in early history. By enlarging the objects and presenting
them as megalithic monuments, our relationship to them is changed and the great
aesthetic value inherent in the design of everyday objects is emphasised.
Mega Collection 2021, 240 x 300 x 35 cm, cellulose, pigments, oil paint.
The Psychopomps Assembly group is a fictional collection of papier-mâché ravens that
imitate stone. They embody the figure of Psychopomp, a mythological figure who appears in
various forms and whose task it was to guide the souls of the recently deceased into the
afterlife.
ELPIS SAMMLUNG
Elpis Sammlung, Installation, variable sizes, cellulose pigments oil colours, 2021
This collection of vessels, inspired by the classical forms of Greek ceramics,
is based on the myth of Pandora's box, which, when opened, allows all the evils
of humanity to escape. At the bottom of this box, which can also be a vessel as
in this case, the only remaining content is ‘Elpis’, the ambivalent figure of
hope in Greek mythology.
