Being someone who expresses themselves through physical objects, working with sustainability is a given for me. Therefore, my former mantra when creating was to \u201cdo as little harm as possible<i>\u201d<\/i>. But during the master\u2019s programme, I felt the need to rethink this. Where was the joy of creating? Where was the hope? The complexity? All the things I wish to pass on to the people who come in contact with my work. The things we need for real change to happen.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to expand my idea of sustainability to not only be a question of materials, but to also include the emotional impact that my creations can have. My goal was to realise a visual world that I dream of inhabiting.<\/p>\n<p>Just as the realm of emotions is often regarded as unserious subject matter, the surface on a piece of furniture is seen by many as superficial. But the surface is where we encounter an object, and this meeting place is where my ideas come to life.<\/p>\n<p>Working with colour and ornamentation, I have created a collection of furniture; a lounge chair and companion pieces. With them, I have reclaimed the surface as an actualised place of power and change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><!-- &hellip; --> <!-- a href=\"https:\/\/konstfack2022.se\/en\/master-en\/mais-en\/laura-thorsgaard-kjaer\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4734,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-442","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mais-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/konstfack2022.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/442","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/konstfack2022.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/konstfack2022.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/konstfack2022.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/konstfack2022.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=442"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/konstfack2022.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/442\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3834,"href":"https:\/\/konstfack2022.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/442\/revisions\/3834"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/konstfack2022.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4734"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/konstfack2022.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=442"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/konstfack2022.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=442"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/konstfack2022.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=442"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
