Little Hybrids, A. Petersen

Soloshow A. Petersen, Copenhagen, 2019

As a fundamental premise, gravity is thematized in this series of objects, which are exhibited as precious treasures, as intense manifestations of captured time. Glazes descend heavily in an expression that includes destruction and failure. The title Little Hybrids refers to the difficulties to categorize the objects; they are reminiscent of known ceramic types from the domestic sphere, such as the container and the figure, but are at the same time open and abstract as experiments in a laboratory. The staging in transparent acrylic boxes withstands gravity, creating a hovering and almost virtual feeling in the room.
