Hiding
Hiding & Pretending is part II in a
trilogy in which the two others are given the titles Golden
Shame and Shame.
In this part of the trilogy I have gone a
step further into Aksel Sandemose´s literary universe to study
phenomena that are proportionate to or an extension of the concept
of shame.
I have worked on selected work from part I. The ceramic shame balls
from part I are encased in colored plaster corresponding to the
plaster molds used for making the shame balls in the first place.
This way the "plaster mold" becomes a part of the finished work and
not just a medium to create another product. The plaster molds
consist of a number of elements. Removing a single part you can look
into the plaster mold and get a glimpse of the shame ball located
inside.
In terms of shape and material, the idea is to experiment with the
use of the plaster mold together with the ceramics and as part of
the finished product.
