Technique: Paper, cardboard, plaster, acrylic paint
Format: 45x13x17cm
Production year: 2011
The sculpture "Mostly void" is made with paper, tape and layers of plaster. It is painted white with acrylic paint. The sculpture is 25 cm long from head to toe, approximately 17 cm width, and 13 cm high, when layed down. It can be hung from the ceiling, using some sort of thread. I would recommend transparent thread, like fishing thread, it would probably make an interesting display, like it is floating around. It is possible to vary the position of the sculpture, according to where you place the thread. I have used a white thread that I have put around the sculptures' waist. The sculpture can also be displayed laying down in different postures, when laying down on the side it seems as it is hitting the ground, with the head and the arm, like in a fall. It can also sit, in a shelf or at a table or be turned up side down. There are lots of variations. It is possible to build a white box for it to lay upon. I will add the white thread I have been using for it and a small screw with an eye, which can be used as a hanging arrangement.
I have tried to portray a sort of physical vulnerability, the body is fragile, if we fall to hard on to something concrete, we get damage, sometimes such falls can turn your life around. By hanging it from the ceiling, in a sort of space, I try to lift the body, or the human out of the everyday life on the ground.
