Tilde Hansen: Mental images

A feeling of loosing a place.
A place you know very well, but at the same time, not at all.
A place where someone else is now walking around collecting new memories.
I try to remember. I collect every stone, every corner, every shape.
The memory takes shape. The shape takes color.
The place stays with me.

Hanna Hjalmarsson: Gravel

Me and my younger brother both work with stone but in different forms – while I work with clay and glaze in my art education, he works for a company occupied with the crushing of gravel.

Through this common material and through visiting each others workplaces, I have explored my feelings of distance to my family that keeps growing as I do higher educations and move away from the context that I grew up in. I have glazed gravel and recreated gravel and other elements from my brother’s workplace.

As a contrast to the dusty settings these elements normally belong to, I have used porcelain which historically has been associated with luxury and refinement.

Johanna Bylén: What we carry

Grief or trauma that is not dealt with creates a neurological collapse. It can change our DNA of generations to come and keep us in solidarity with the trauma of origin.
