Persson This is another public art piece called #stjärnstoff #stardust which comprises several different materials and processes. Not seen here is a large scale black stone called #syenite and a jewelry shaped and high polished red #vånga a red granite from Sweden. The stones were picked as leftovers from other projects and with odd shapes not suitable for anything except art or they crush them to grit. Which I find depressing as those rocks have been dug up and their geological age is between 950-1200 million years. I like to form #sculptures that give a sense of awe to both the materials and of #deeptime, helping us to see what we usually just walk on. The sculpture on those images are the other part and is a work where I involved a care home for young adults with #downssyndrome. As you all know glass is basically sand, that is also geological. The #glasscrystal is hand blown and shaped through water grinding. The aluminium is 100% recycled and the #kelp like frame is directly shaped in wax. I took moulds of Tessan and Martin's hands, also moulded in recycled aluminium. This piece is placed in #lövstalöt #uppsala #sweden and was finished in November 2023. #art #artist #femaleartist #sweden #sculptor #glass #handmade #craft #skills #cosmos
