info(at)edstromodemark(dot)comHello!
I position my works in the borderland where our bodies
intertwine and merge with our surroundings and its other inhabitants.
Sculptures that bear the mark of human craftsmanship also carry
imprints of collaboration with more-than-human forces; a
meticulously sanded piece of wood, for instance, reveals traces
of white fungus and rot. The carved wood is shaped not only by
me but also by the beetles and insects that lived off of it,
creating hollows and holes in its surface.
Themes of death and decomposition emerge as a transitional state
activated by the passage of time in many of my sculptural works.
These artworks crumble, decay, or become subject to ingestion.
Through these material choices, I want to reveal the borderland
as a shared realm, challenging traditional concepts of care and
responsibility from a fresh perspective. A mutual kinship that
spans from the organic to the non-organic world calls us to
reconsider our interconnected relationships with and in our
surroundings.
