Eir
2019
Series. Material; Copper wire Unique pieces, hanging sculptures.
The title Eir, the Norwegian word for corrugation, is pointing to one og the characteristics of copper, that I want to emphasize in this project. The dark, burnt wire from dynamos and motors is used together with the shiny, unburnt wire from electric cables.
Eir also has a link to Norse Mythology, as it is the name of one of the goddesses. At the same time the shapes of the Eir objects remind a lot about the lanterns in a Buddhist Temple, as well as the pendant lights in a Christian Church.
