Energy saving chart, 2015 (back)

Mixed media in wood and plexiglas vitrine with interior lighting

Energy saving chart consists of a custom-made vitrine with a peg board backing. On a transparent plastic foil suspended inside, a number of dead moths and cigarette butts can be seen. Found objects and vestiges of human activity as signs of spent time, energy or currency is a recurring theme in the artist’s work.

Both works: Green Anröchter stone, chipboard plinth, assorted objects

The sculptures' combination of curves and flat planes link a man-made, linear quality with one reminiscent of naturally occurring rock crevices. This tension between made and found characteristics is further emphasized by the variations of their surface texture.
