It’s about geometry. How something looks and is shaped, how much it weighs and where it is placed. But also,\u00a0the\u00a0kind of material it is and how it feels and is experienced.\u00a0For my degree project,\u00a0I have chosen to examine the material salt.<\/p>\n
My opinion is that salt as a material can\u00a0intertwine\u00a0relationships between the city, the landscape and what is in between; that\u00a0is man, nature and animal, all\u00a0a relation to salt.\u00a0Salt\u00a0is needed otherwise we cannot exist; we need each other otherwise we cannot survive. Salt is changeable;\u00a0it dissolves when it gets wet and it crystallises when it dries. My work is about using the properties of salt to create objects that speak to both humans and animals.\u00a0The result is a\u00a0communicative object shaped\u00a0through the\u00a0interaction\u00a0of\u00a0man,\u00a0animal\u00a0and nature.<\/p>\n
When rain and wind encounter the\u00a0salt stone, a process begins where the salt slowly but surely moves down over the piece of pine. The animals seek out the\u00a0salt stone. With the help of their tongues the salt is removed from the stone;\u00a0the\u00a0sculptural form finds expression.<\/p>\n
In my work, I want to create conditions for an animal-inclusive design where the salt’s ability to change is used for\u00a0the purpose of design.\u00a0The location of the modular objects are intended to capture people’s attention. Then the crystals from the salt reflect light, creating a piece of furniture that gives the illusion of a floating island.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
