Artist statement
It has lived.
It stores memories.
The Material.
And it might still do so.
The heart of the lamB -obvious.
The heart of an organism, created from informations that has been passed over generations, to be created. From the first beat to the last,
it carried and it’s been carried through the world.
The marble has been born from heat and pressure / or
heat and pressure gave birth to marble,
millions of years ago.
Then they say Greece is the mother of marble.
But hasn’t it to be the other way around?
Salt is one of the oldest currencies. It has two origins; the sea and mineral deposits (which are deposits, formed from ancient seas and lakes that evaporated millions of years ago)
Symbolizing purity and protection,
it is still poisonous.
6000 years ago,
sugar has been extracted from Mother Earth for the first time
-maybe. Probably.
First from canes and later also from beets.
Sugar and salt look the same.
(-But they are not.)
A story captured in sugar.
Oh how addictive you are, sweet memory.
Just as addictive, as your dear friend, the salt.
Enhancing the flavour, they both might kill you.
And I pray for balance.
To hold,
to carry within, to remember, to nourish.
To experience.
We all share the dust (universe).
You either wanna lick my work,
or you don’t wanna come close at all.
But in the end, it’s the experience that matters?
Isn’t it?
