Fragment in Tact

2025

Fragment in Tact was my ceramic project for the group exhibition Xammlung organised by Guirlanden in collaboration with Justus Liebig University, and held in Giessen, Germany, 2025.

The group of work Actor draws inspiration from a small ancient terracotta figure, Schauspieler, measuring just 12.7 cm in height. In this work, I seek to evoke the intensity of the original polychrome colours, tones now largely lost, creating a dialogue between the ancient past and a contemporary reinterpretation.

In the abstract series Fragment, I explore surfaces and forms that resonate the textures and tactile qualities of classical sculptures, engaging with the materiality and physical presence of ancient statues.

The project was supported by the Danish Art Foundation and the City of Aarhus.
