Frog Auditorium
With the Symposium’s theme “Back to the River” in mind, I observed the formation of ripples on water. I wanted to freeze the ripples in a hard material to give the viewer time to reflect on the qualities and formations of water. I chose wood for this purpose because of the natural rings on its surface. I cut different sized logs into slices, and then I cut a few of these slices into crescent shapes and slotted them together. The central pieces were held in place with steel rods, while the outer pieces were attached by wire or were free floating, so that the composition was always changing.
Guest Artists
This series of portraits was connected with interviews I carried out with guest artists for the Symposium’s catalogue. I used wallpaper I found at the art centre (a former boarding school) as my surface and made paint from natural clay.
