The essay, Apple Pillars: echo, reflects on the artist's journey of constructing sculptures, a series of apple wooden pillars balancing in the tension of steel. Starting from an intuitive process of wood carving, the act of repetition and labor invited the artist to dive deeper into the materiality, questioning the history of the apple logs. The story began from the 1880’s in the Swedish countryside, an apple grove, where each tree was planted for when a child was born. An archived history encouraged the artist to reflect on her own fragmented heritage and upbringing in the mountains of Colorado. Pulled between two different landscapes, experiences and families, the artist navigates personal memories imprinted on the architecture and nature. The question of how to preserve a memory in wood evolved. Leading the artist towards archaeological findings, Rudolf Steiner's architecture and the sonic resonance of a material and environment.
