Waves ////// Land

Waves/Land series is a work that spans from a project in 2015 when I visited Easter Island and the Pacific Ocean in the project ‘Everyone and Everywhere is an Island’ together with Märta Mattsson and WALKA Studio.

The image of repetitive patterns, reflections of a surrounding view. Depicting an abstraction of the structure and movement of the surfaces of waves, water and landscape, making one line mimicking another with a slight variation in each.

I use silversmithing techniques as a method to explore the material. By using the hammer, I make translations of the quick lines from drawings into the silver sheet to create surface and to give shape to physical qualities of the material. For the waves series I have used chasing punches to draw reliefs in the metal.
