Nina Malterud: Out There & Stripes, 2018-2022
I have been exploring stripes on tiles and dishes for years, going in different directions.
Out There is a series of tiles from 2018 that may refer to weather, wind, and view of landscapes. Here, clay, which is actually tight and compact earth, can make images of its opposites – air, water, and space.
Stripes from 2022 do not provide illusions. This is clay, this is solid earth.
