Tractor traces, excavation, fired clay, ashes
Sommerskulptur Søby biennalen 2022
RE/UPCYCLING

The sculpture is modelled in clay extracted from the island, Ærø, where the biennale is taking place. The sculpture is modelled, dried and fired on the site by building a paper-clay kiln around it. The kiln is removed but still present in form of the leftover ashes. The traces of the tractor and the excavation is also part of the installation, creating the atmosphere of a dystopian industrial archaeology.
