SOLID DUST

Galleri Revolt

Borås, January 2023

The concept of solid dust is a metaphor for the way in which everything is connected and ultimately returns to its most basic form, the impermanence of the material world.

A constant ongoing natural process of change which happens continuously, the building up and the disintegration.

The notion that nothing is permanent.

Small particles of dust carried by wind or water becomes cemented as a solid form, frozen for a second in a photograph or sealed in a sculpture, presereved as a slice of time, even though in a state of constant change. 
Centered around movement and transformation, we are in fact exploring the fragile balance and the fleeting nature of life, using dust, clay and sand as a central theme we are exploring the concept of erosion and the passage of time. A sudden halt in the middle of a process. 

The sculptures are on the verge of collapse, the slow erosion and the build-up that is ever ongoing in nature.

In the photographs, taken by Marcus Palmqvist, a sudden course of events, captured in time. Dust in midair before its suspended and again merges with the surrounding nature.
