Grafted Land (reliefs), series of aluminum reliefs, size variable, 2017
Grafted Land is a series of aluminum reliefs in different sizes and constellations. The surfaces are casts taken from compositions of organic and technological materials and objects that were imprinted directly and in multiple layers in slabs of clay. The organic and non-organic traces become thus merged into a densely woven net of hybrid structures, neither belonging to the natural nor the technological realm. Aluminum is a material mostly associated with the future, especially as used in the design of new technology and contrasts with the almost fossile surfaces and the brittle appearance of the reliefs.
