Comfort
Hilde Dramstad
Ashes, plaster, copper, plastic, acrylic paint, silver, textile, nylonthread, marbledust, laquer
With the project ”comfort” I wish to enlighten the duality in the material ashes. Both its function and its symbolism.
Worthless ashes and dust are the main material with references to a perishable and at the same time valuable content.
The works are based on remains from a battle that maybe alter into something different,- a new start. The burnt pieces can gain new value through the nutritious qualities of ashes. A feeling of catharsis and hope may appear.
I mix the white,innocent plaster with black and gray ashes which is the start for perhaps new colours to appear.
