Painted Pulp Papier by Sandra Chevrier

Sandra’s process begins with beautifully evocative female portraits, which she then smothers with torn out comic books pages, the penetratingly deep gaze of her make-believe models forever bound and silenced by the iconic fantasy heroes meant to empower them.

David Maisel - Library of Dust (2008)

“In 1913, the Oregon State Insane Asylum began to cremate the remains of unclaimed patients and their ashes were stored in copper canisters.

After decades in storage the canisters have undergone chemical reactions resulting in explosions of vivid blue-green corrosion. Maisel was granted access to the room in which the canisters were stored to document them for his book.”

Artist’s statement:

“Among my concerns with Library of Dust are the crises of representation that derive from attempts to index or archive the evidence of trauma; the uncanny ability of objects to portray such trauma; and the revelatory possibilities inherent in images of such traumatic disturbances.

While there are certainly physical and chemical explanations for the ways these canisters have transformed over time, the canisters also encourage us to consider what happens to our own bodies when we die, and to the souls that occupy them.”

“Somehow the image begins to have a sort of memory in it, even if you can’t see it. It can build up a dense feeling toward the end, and then it makes me happier.”

The Monument for Swarovski (OBJECT), by Hilda Hellström.

During the summer of 2012 I developed a project commissioned by Swarovski for their exhibition Digital Crystal: Swarovski at the Design Museum (5 September 2012 – 13 January 2013).

I worked with moving images to accompany and tell a story about the object, thus created a mythological place and setting in which the object would exist. The exhibition brief was ‘Memory in a Digital Age’ and as a response I used my favourite pastime – travelling with Google Earth - as a tool to develop a fictive memory about a place. When digitally travelling to Wattens, the home and headquarters of Swarovski, I started to imagine the people of the small Austrian town and their lives in the Tyrollean mountains. Based on these fantasies, an abstract narrative was conceived and interpreted into a short film.

The co-starring object was created with the assistance of 3D imaging programs, transferring the topography of Wattens from Google Earth to a digital milling machine that milled the landscape in casted Jesmonite (see Sedimentation) and Swarovski crystal. Out of this I created a monument dedicated to my fictional friends in the Tyrollean mountains, as an ode to craft in a digital world. The project took form as an installation, with a film, a monument and sound creating a multifaceted experience, a glimpse into a fictional world.

The project consists of a film, a monument and a sound joined together in a intimate environment.
