To contain the meaning while we destroy it separately

Fence, wool, tracing paper, crackers, hay, and seaweed.
2023

Solveig Hanusardóttir Olsen, art historian:

“Alda Mohr Eyðunardóttir’ s fence examines human traces in the landscape. Furthermore, the fence is a symbol of a boundary or membrane between the inner and outer landscape, between the personal, intimate space.”

“Another sculpture in the exhibition is a cast of a hat that the artist’ s mother knitted as a child. Another piece, a knitted sock cast in bronze, also points to the aforementioned historical trade and to the exhibition venue’ s history as a storage place for trade goods. The cast works are full of contrasts: here the soft, old, traditional material is cast in bronze, a hard and expensive material.“

Exhibited in the exhibition Concioues Threads at the North Atlantic House in Copenhagen in 2023. Curated by Mai Misfeldt.
