Title of work: Time Yarn
35 x 68 x 12 cm

 “Emerging from a personal pursuit of ‘the Archetype’, the work conveys a sense of timelessness that transcends style and defies categorization. Using elements drawn from the natural world as a jumping off point for her forms had always interested Åberg, and her ceramic compositions fire the imagination as they draw the viewer into the enigmatic tension of the micro/macro experience. The forms call to mind images of scanning electron microscopy of Radiolarian micro-fossils. There is the sense that we might be observing a close-up of a cell structure or tiny cross-section of bone, and then the view suddenly expands out to a geologic scale. We are taken from a place of intimacy to the sublime. Each piece enters into a dialogue with the viewer wherein its own narrative, regarding its origins and/or its reason for being, is unfolded.”
