Abstract

In this text you will follow the work and methods I used in my MA project Wooden talks, safe terrain and tangled situations. Wooden talks is a installation of abstract shapes in meeting with figurative ones. Through the material and with the lathe as my main tool, I have followed the work and through arrangement investigated the exchange of information and what meaning that arises in the meeting between forms. I call the installation a staging to emphasize the importance of activity and changeability. It is a concept that illustrates important parts both in the making and in the experience of the work. Such as perception, meaning, feeling and sense. Imagination, appearance, the direct and present. On the stage, the forms appear and occur in relationship to each other out of a process based on a playful strategy that opposes one single sentence.
