Back to Scratch

2020 | Stone


The act of alteration and reduction refers to both asceticism and the search for a virgin state, an aim for a new beginning, a tabula rasa, a sense of innocence and a feeling of control.


Throughout the project, I aimed to carve a shape which fitted my embrace perfectly - and then carve past it. Starting to measure the areas where I would reduce, I intuitively used my own body-parts.

These measurements would rationalize something entirely irrational and subjective - but which to me enhanched a feeling of control, system and order. As if they became an objective subjective objectiveness.
