Glasskoven<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

da<\/strong>
\u201cGlasskoven\u201d er en hyldest til skovbunden og forbindelsen mellem glasset og skovene. Forbindelsen er i f\u00f8rste omgang materiel: Skovene har dannet rammen om udviklingen af glaspusterindustrien i Skandinavien og Europa. Og mange steder kan man finde sm\u00e5 stykker waldglas med samme gr\u00f8nlige sk\u00e6r som det jernholdige kvarts i skovbunden, der blev blandet i glasmengen sammen med asken fra tr\u00e6ets afbr\u00e6nding i ovnene.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGlasskoven\u201d kredser om det punkt, hvor kontraster m\u00f8des: det kunstige og det naturlige, det transparente og det solide. Farverne imiterer waldglassets gr\u00f8nlige sk\u00e6r, og den matterede overflade skjuler glassets transparens. Laura Sonne Lund inviterer os til at g\u00e5 til objekterne med samme nysgerrighed, som n\u00e5r man unders\u00f8ger skovbundens landskab af hulrum og snoede r\u00f8dder.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Denne serie af bl\u00e6ste glasskulpturer, som er en forts\u00e6ttelse af ‘Creatures of the Woods’, er dedikeret til luftens element, som er s\u00e5 present i den havneby, hvor de er skabt (K\u00f8benhavn). <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Denne serie eksperimenter med nye farver og former, og str\u00e6ber efter et mere sv\u00e6vende udtrryk.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

‘Creatures of the Wind’ is a continuation of the work; Creatures of the Woods. This body of work, is dedicated to the element of the wind, ever present with in the coastal city of Copenhagen, where it is created.

Building on the techniques earlier developed, this series experiment with new colors and shapes, striving for a more ethereal expression. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

V\u00e6ggen (The Wall)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

da<\/strong>
‘V\u00e6ggen’ er en duo i glas og papir, som unders\u00f8ger en faldende bev\u00e6gelse der opst\u00e5r n\u00e5r man giver slip p\u00e5 noget.

Graalv\u00e6rket er inspireret af den \u00f8strigske forfatter Marlen Haushofers roman af samme navn fra 1963. I trykket gentages motivet fra graalen \u00f8verst oppe, og derfra udfolder sig et abstrakt narrativ, der kredser om forholdet mellem mennesker og natur.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

eng<\/strong>
‘The Wall’ is a duo in glass and paper, investigating the movement of loosing or letting go of something<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The graalpiece is inspired by the reading of Austrian writer Marlon Haushofer\u2019s novel, The Wall (1963). In the wallpaper, I repeat the motif of the graal in the top, and let a sort of narrative unfold, following the same movement, the movement of letting go, of falling, into being or into this thing, that we call nature.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Creatures of the Woods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

da<\/strong>
‘Creatures of the Woods’ er en skulpturel unders\u00f8gelse af relationen mellem glasset, menneskekroppen og de store skove der traditionelt set har skabt vilk\u00e5rene for glaspusterfagets udbredelse i Europa. Denne unders\u00f8gelse tager sit \u00e6stetiske udgangspunkt i det umiddelbare m\u00f8de mellem kroppe i forskellige materialer og den nysgerrighed der v\u00e6kkes i m\u00f8det med hulrum og halvgennemsigtige \u00e5bninger. 

De er lavet ved en videreudvikling af en traditionel teknik, hvor man kortvarigt suger luften ud af glasboblen, s\u00e5 der dannes tuber og r\u00f8r. Derefter er toppen dryppet med vand, og krakeleret, for at \u00e5bne op for disse hulrum. Den sandbl\u00e6ste overflade, giver v\u00e6rkerne en vis sanselig bl\u00f8dhed, knogler eller organer, og r\u00e6kker s\u00e5ledes selv ud mod en form for kropslighed. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

eng<\/strong>
‘Creatures of the Woods’ is a sculptural exploration of the relationship between glass, the human body, and the forests that traditionally provided the conditions for the glassblowing industry in Europe. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This investigation takes its aesthetic starting point in the immediate encounter between bodies of different materials and the curiosity awakened by the encounter with cavities and semi-transparent openings.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Captured Landscapes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I am curious about the human need to dwell in and domesticate nature, and I would like to imagine how the landscape itself is feeling – when there is no humans around, is it then still a landscape? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vaser til tid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

da<\/strong>
‘Vaser til tid’ er tre sm\u00e5 vaser, der leger med glassets materialitet. Hvordan boblens masse er fordelt, tydeligg\u00f8res og fastfryses indenfor ganske kort tid, n\u00e5r luften suges ud af boblen, og danner vakuum, tuber og r\u00f8r. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

eng<\/strong>
‘Vessels for time’ is a play with the materiality of glass. By sucking in the air of the glass bubble, the distribution of mass is revaeled within a split-second, and frozen in time.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
