JORDBÅT

Abstract

The title ’Jordbåt’ is roughly translated into ’Soil Boat’. It could be the unearthing of a time gone by, a coffin, or a vessel of reaching beyond. These notions has been a recurring element in my past two years of working with binding metal. In this project, I have sought to explore my memories, distorted by time in relation to the archetypical imagery of a boat. By manifesting the romanticized notion of something that once was, to show the duality of absence and presence, I hope to evoke a sombre moment of reminiscence.
