Clay for the Process by Katrīna Šatalova

In my project I put focus on the process of interaction with material. I work without sketches or expectations of the final outcome. My intention is to experience a full cycle of clay, so I prepare it myself straight from the ground. The practice reflects anthropologist’s Tim Ingold’s theory on thinking through making.

Grounded by Turkka Taipale

How to ground yourself? Instead of pushing forward, what if we would take a look back for a while? Could it help us to go forward? By looking at your personal journey it’s easier to see the growth. Rather than comparing yourself to others, take a look at the steps you have already taken. This is a tool to map yourself, to visualise your journey, to give more credit to yourself, to watch from the right perspective, to put things in perfect scale. To be grounded.

Homesick by Emilie Tuuminen

Ground is a state of mind. Homesick represents the processed feelings and mindscapes I went through on this personal journey. Being with the material and working with my hands acted as tools to find my way back to the missed comfort and serenity.

Emergent by Antti Grundstén

These materials that we excavate brutally from the earth frighten, excite and worry me simultaneously. We rarely stop to think the origins of metals we consider human made or synthetic.
