Description

Katja continues to investigate the workings of her mind in her most recent series of suspended sculptures called “Hirngespinst”, the German word for figment of the imagination. The word conjures up images of spinning and weaving. She explores these figments by combining fibre and  Japanese stone clay. Drawn to the contradictory nature of these two materials, the fibre expresses the figment’s movement, and the clay manifests the movement giving it permanence, much like a snapshot.

Care & Use: Please handle the item by the base.  Hung with a fishing wire.

Material: Fibre and Japanese stone clay (an air-drying clay made in part from marble dust)
