These models are forged from one piece of flatbar. By drawing out long tapers I want to emphasize the potential that such a small piece of material contains. The tapered bars are then used to create a three dimensional line drawing in space. Just with a few bends a composition is created. As the material reaches out into the room it becomes expressive and simultaneously fragile. Then it returns to its origin.

The juxtaposition between a sturdy lump of steel and the fragile tapers fascinates me since the beginning of my Bachelor study in Sweden. It shows the transformative potential of the forging process as well as the different characteristics of the material.
