April, April, der macht was er will

The patterns on the work are made from impressed clay on plaster molds–which were created from the antique molds and brass stampings I have collected. The collection of items, allows the possibility to combine different ornaments collected from different parts of the world, in a single piece of work.

Each piece of the clay in pastry-shape has the potential of creating a new form when carefully arranged and combined. They were also combined to create a functional purpose, in this piece case- a lid holder and handles mimicking the handle of a teapot.

The form of this piece is made in such a way that it can rock left and right. Inspired by an aphorism of a man who lost his horse, it is a personal mantra of mine.

This piece is reflective to the experiences in Berlin.

April war schön,

April ist Segen oder Fluch?

April, würdest du wiederkommen?

April, April, der macht was er will.

April, ist es Segen oder Fluch?
