    Can I (Please) Have It Back
    (2024-05) Alm Nordsveen, Sofie; University of Gothenburg/HDK­-Valand - Academy of Art and Design; Göteborgs universitet/HDK-Valand - Högskolan för konst och design
    In "Can I (please) have it back?" I am looking at how violence is stored in the flesh. I am focusing on the journey of healing through three sculptures by taking on the roles both as violator and victim. I look at the healing possibilities of craft both in the materials and in my self and use acts of repetition to reflect on how violence affects us. In my writing I focus on what violence is to me, and how my working process embodies violence. I look into the political sides of working with and talking about violence and discuss how the personal is political. I describe my process as working through and with flesh, and go more into the roles of violator/victim, as I wrestle and argue with my materials. I aim to talk about, inhabit and reflect on violent and caring acts, as I am both the violator and the healer of the indulged damage and my own flesh.
