Cluster of vases 2018. Fjøset Ringebu Prestegard (the Byre Ringebu Parsonage). H 200 cm x diam. 350 cm
Because of the low ceiling height in the byre, the diameter at the top had to be increased in order to make sure that the installation would function as intended in the space. I have used about 1,200–1,300 vases with a total weight of around 1,000 kilos. Because this cluster of vases is much smaller than the one shown in Kunsthall Grenland, I have been able to play more freely with form and with the depth between the vases, making the installation rawer and more organic, with more pronounced shifts between surfaces, and protrusions, and forms that are fully extended – all in an attempt to give it more inner life and an abundance of active areas. I have learned a lot from this experiment, which has given me experience that will be useful when the cluster of vases is reassembled at the National Ceramics Museum – Sèvres in Paris in September.
