ABOUT THE WORKS

BIOBASERET RESIN

Vores skulpturer bliver skabt i biobaseret resin, et materiale der ofte vækker nysgerrighed, fordi det ligner glas, men er meget lettere og mere fleksibelt at forme.

Den biobaserede resin, vi anvender, er fremstillet af råstoffer, der primært stammer fra affald fra tredje generations ressourcer og plantebaseret materiale. Materialet kræver også markant mindre energi at producere end traditionelle resiner. Resinen fremstilles i Frankrig af en familieejet virksomhed under energibesparende forhold, før den finder vej til vores atelier i Aarhus.

Her begynder den langsomme del.

Hvert værk bliver skabt uden brug af energi. Ingen varme, ingen maskinel acceleration. Kun tid, hænder og materialets egen vilje. Det giver en proces på 2-3 uger, hvor formerne får lov til at opstå organisk, og hvor overfladerne bærer spor af bevægelse frem for perfektion. Vi tror på, at det kan ses og mærkes.

Det handler om at tage ansvarlige valg, skabe langsomt og lade materialet fortælle sin egen historie. Hvert objekt bærer spor af processen og de bevidste beslutninger bagved. Det er netop dér, vi mener, æstetik og omtanke mødes.

TANKERNE BAGVED

The production of the vases takes place in a step-by-step process, where the material must be mixed and allowed to harden over several stages. The shaping of the sculptures is crucial to their unique expression, and is where the design truly comes to life.

During the process, quality checks are performed on each piece of art, such as ensuring the quality of the material and conducting usage tests before they can be approved and sold.

All of them also have a certificate stating the exact measurements and numbering.

Slow creation process

The material is unpredictable – it almost has a life of its own. Part of the challenge has been learning patience with it, as it doesn't always behave as expected. The curing time changes with temperature and seasons, so it must be treated as a living, organic material. Before it hardens, I carefully shape the patterns so that I can control how the layers develop and create the beautiful effects you see in the pictures. But the unpredictable is also what makes the work so fascinating and vibrant.

Light is an incredibly mood-enhancing element, and while working with the pattern, we discovered how beautifully it stands out in sunlight. The light nature of the material allows us to create the illusion of a soft cloud, even though it is actually a solid object.
