Daniel Steegmann Mangrané Thread with leaf, 2024
Tangerine peel, silk thread, silver support
3 x 5,5 x 15 cm
Around a half-circle of a dried tangerine peel, a silk thread is tied and fixes with a small know. The tangerine peel is held up by a circular structure made from silver which in turn is sticking out from the wall. With its empty off-white inside upturned, the fragility of the tangerine peel takes on almost a kind of soulfulness, as if suggesting an offering or even a supplication, while the knot is testament to a human intervention.
