Momentary; lasting only for a moment

I went fishing… came home with some new material after a very quiet and beautiful pause. I went hunting for elk… came home with new material after an impressive experience. I went to Egypt… came home totally fascinated of how they once preserved their dead. And how they still reminded me of life when I looked into their faces.

I have taken care of the leftovers, the material that was left when the experience ended

I found without looking
I experienced the temporary
I let time be
I wanted to preserve moments
I let go

They become some sort of trophies, my pieces. Fossil pieces in an attempt to preserve a now. They are taned, sewed, taut, dried, embodied and casted. They are in material that will change when time passes. Combined with the foundation of all my work, silvermetal. Used as protection, framework and skeleton. Used as the thing to recognise and it is probably what will last the longest.

I would like to believe that you in every meeting with a piece temporary once again could give life to the materials. That you in the wearing can give new meaning to things in a new context.
