Abstract

This essay is written in parallel to my studio work at the Master in Fine Art’s program at Konstfack 2021-2023. I began to write with the intention that this essay was going to be about the sculptures I made during my MFA. I begin to write, as I work with my sculptures - on impulse - and the essay unfolded as another kind of text. It is a montage, written close to my sculptures, but not directly about them. The text reveals the historic, scientific, linguistic aspects of my sculptures and how they are connected. Memories, anecdotes and dreams are also part of the montage. 

In the essay I refer to Gravity and Grace by Simone Weil, Powers of Horror - An essay on abjection by Julia Kristeva, Complete Stories by Clarice Lisbector and On Freedom by Maggie Nelson and more.
