Ghost Town by Etienne Thevenet
High fire ceramic, Oil sand, Zinc
The emergence of latent images and forms through the manipulation of matter. Ghost Town is the thermal shock between ferrous and clay-based soils, both cracking and setting the other. The artwork aims to channel emotional frictions as generative force, by letting untold memories of childhood surface.

Soil Care Products by Mira Niittym盲ki
What if we treated soil as we treat our skin? After all, soil is the skin of the Earth, and our own skin is soil for billions of microbes. The project investigates ways to care for the degraded land and barren soil resulting from human actions. It also speculates on a future where soil care would be one of our daily routines. The work also satirically comments on the oversaturated field of beauty care products of our time when more than ever we should focus our care to more fundamental issues.
