‘Let my last cover be like this’ 2003

Installation made up of shrouds woven from fragile, organic, gradually disintegrating materials. Fragrant materials like lavender and sage are used.
The shrouds have the silhouette of a human being, one amorph and one regular pattern woven into them. The amorph representing organic life, the regular pattern and the weft, the continuity of life.
The installation is made up by hanging two shrouds on opposite walls. Between them, on the ground, lays a rolled up shroud. On the floor, between the hung up and rolled up shrouds, the ground is covered with organic materials. When walked over these, the crushed material gives off its scent once more and disintegrates a bit further. Where people walk a path slowly comes into existence.
