STRONG SENSES

sculptures in ceramics by Harriet Fjeldheim

 

This is my tribute to wrinkles, new beginnings and gratitude for the music.

 

The exhibition has 3 themes:

• Strong Women

• Music relief

• Sense-egg

 

In the sculpture series Strong Women, I want to pay tribute to how our lives markes our faces and makes us distinctive, clear, strong and much, much more beautiful - the opposite of the voice from today's destructive beautyideal in advertisments.

 

The surface of my sculptures contains marks, grooves and cracks. It is reminiscent of scars and wrinkles and gives a feeling of age and weather bites. This enhances the feeling of lived life and gives each sculpture a clear and strong personality. This has become a signature of my works.

 

In the musical reliefs I want to show my gratitude for the music, my enthusiasm for the beauty of the musical instruments and the brave, naked exposure of the raw feelings of the musicians. I try to create a sense of living instruments.

 

Sensory eggs are figurative and tactile sculptures. When the two physical realities - the egg and a physical representation of a human sense - merge, something exciting happens. The sense is left detached and alone. It feels newborn .. reinforced .. more visible .. stronger ..
