Super Superficial

Sammanfattning: The project Super Superficial takes my own practice as its starting point. Being someone who expresses myself through physical objects, working with sustainability is a given for me. Therefore my former mantra, when creating, was to “do as little harm as possible”. But during the master’s  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 I believe we need for real change to happen. I wanted to expand my idea of sustainability to not only be a question of materials, but also to include the emotional impact that my creations can have. To not limit myself to a concept of less is more but instead to add and layer and color! My goal was to realize a visual world that I dream to inhabit. Just as the realm of emotions is often regarded as an unserious subject, the surface on a piece of furniture is seen by many as superficial. But the surface is where we encounter an object, the place where we use our senses, and this meeting point is where my ideas has come to life. Working with color and ornamentation I have reclaimed the surface on the lounge chair as an actualized place of power and change.
