Day & Night 2023. Site-specific public commission at the new hospital in Elsinore, Denmark. Project won by an Open Call arranged by The Council of Elsinore and the National Art Foundation of Denmark. The two ceramic sculptures are inspired by the form of two natural stones, found in the wild nature that was there before the hospital was build. My vision was to create an installation that embrace the visitors when they arrive openminded, hopeful and perhaps vulnerable at the hospital. The overall writings on the sculptures come from local citizens everyday thoughts on health, the meaningful life and community, all words collected and curated by the artist. I wanted the work to welcome and mirror the visitors no matter what state of mind they find themselves in, when they visit. I wanted the work to somehow comfort them in their vulnerable situation. By shaping the upscaled ceramic sculptures after these organic stones, I wanted to connect the untamed nature with the streamlined monumental building in order to transcend nature and architecture and past and future.
