About my work My work is to a big extent coloured with the notion that 'things' are not clearly defined. Events and things do not begin or end at a certain moment, but rather are a result of ongoing processes that often don't seem to have any connection with each other, yet are crucial in creating an 'event', a certain reality. In the last period, I have made works, which are constructed out of cell- and root-like particles. These ‘cells’ and ‘roots’ are made of different materials such as silicone, porcelain, minerals and fabric, often connected by means of sewing. Sewing has evolved in my latest works into an inevitable part of the work in terms of creating meaning and constructing form at the same time. The organic, cell and tree - like forms, express my preoccupation with the fact that everything is in continuous process of change. Ela Bauer 2009 |
