Project Description

Hybrid Series

This series of work questions and deals with the possibilities of developing new meanings and new interpretations of corpus objects in the field of contemporary art and craft. It investigates and addresses if the perception of corpus as well as table-ware objects can be changed by altering the material or their formal aesthetics: do we recognize the objects the same way if their form and function is altered? How does the meaning change and how can it be substituted? I try to explore what lies in an object beyond its function and notion of materiality. What are the boundaries and limitations of our perception, understanding and tradition of objects. The new perception of the objects challenges the agency of old objects. It raises the question on why there is a need to create new or alternate the perception of objects; why do contemporary artists sense and play with perceptions and formal aesthetics of objects to create new objects?

My back ground in sculpture, technical knowledge of traditional metalsmithing, and work experience in ceramics allows me to adopt an interdisciplinary approach in practice, which can lead to new ways of expressions. Being an artist working with objects, my relation to metal is very direct and personal. For me metal is strong reference to traditional craft and corpus itself. However I work with interdisciplinary approach, and try to further explore the basic relationship between different techniques and materials in the field of craft. I tend to combine different materials and techniques together and hence.
