Sammen med grafikeren Pia Skogberg har jeg siden 2019 udviklet visuelle, metodiske og materialemæssige dialoger i krydsfeltet mellem grafik og keramik. I den forbindelse dyppede vi bl.a. papir i ler, lagde det på konstruktioner af volierenet og brændte det.

Det er en sammenblanding af materialer og en metode, der almindeligvis anses for at være uforenelige, men som måske netop af den grund fascinerer mig og ikke mindst udfordrer mig fagligt.

ler – metal – papir undersøger uforenelige materialer og deres mulighed for at indgå i symbioser.

I brændingen påvirkes objekternes form og struktur af
– lerets revnedannelser
– metallets porøsitet og sporadiske udsmeltning
– visuelle reminiscenser af det brændte papir

Når materialernes interaktion afkodes, og koderne omsættes til værker, der skabes i gensidig krydsbestøvning mellem hånd, hoved, materialer og proces, transformeres sporene af materialernes uforenelighed til sanselig skrøbelighed.

ler – metal – papir er udviklet på bl.a. Guldagergård og Kirsten Kjærs Museum. Projektet vises på en procesbaseret udstilling i Officinet, Danske Kunsthåndværkeres projektrum i København i november-december 2026.

Udstillingen er støttet af Statens Kunstfond, Grosserer L.F. Foghts Fond, Nationalbankens Jubilæumsfond, Toyota Fonden og Knud Højgaards Fond.

Since 2019, graphic artist Pia Skogberg and I have co-developed visual, methodological and material-driven dialogues at the intersection of graphics and ceramics. One of our experiments in this process involved dipping paper in clay, placing it on structures made of aviary mesh and firing it in a ceramic kiln.

This mix of materials and method would generally be considered incompatible. Perhaps that is exactly why I find it fascinating and, not least, welcome it as an intriguing professional challenge. 

clay – metal – paper explores incompatible materials and their potential for entering into symbioses.

In the kiln, the objects’ shape and structure are affected by
– cracks forming in the clay
– the porosity of the metal and its sporadic melting
– visual traces of the burnt paper 

When the interaction of the materials is decoded, and the codes are translated into pieces created in a cross-pollination between hand, mind, materials and process, the traces of the incompatibility of the materials are transformed into sensuous fragility.

clay – metal – paper was developed at the international ceramic research centre Guldagergård and the Kirsten Kjær Museum. The project is presented in a process-based exhibition at Officinet, the Danish Crafts & Design Association’s project space in Copenhagen, in November–December 2026.

The exhibition has received support from the Danish Arts Foundation, Grosserer L.F. Foghts Fond,  Danmarks Nationalbank’s Anniversary Foundation, the Toyota Foundation and Knud Højgaards Fond.
