The vitrine contains an assortment of insulation and display materials in different widths, colors and strengths that are stacked, bent and hung. The combination of circular and rectangular elements vaguely evokes a selection of geometric shapes.

Energy saving chart consists of a custom-made vitrine with a peg board backing. On a transparent plastic foil suspended inside, a number of dead moths and cigarette butts can be seen. Found objects and vestiges of human activity as signs of spent time, energy or currency is a recurring theme in the artist’s work.

Both works: Green Anröchter stone, chipboard plinth, assorted objects

The sculptures' combination of curves and flat planes link a man-made, linear quality with one reminiscent of naturally occurring rock crevices. This tension between made and found characteristics is further emphasized by the variations of their surface texture.
