Historical example

Concrete used as an opponent against freedom as walls. With my historical example, I want to find a way freedom can break through the massiveness of concrete. I like the idea how such a hard object consists of powder- very powerless, innocent material and water - liquid, taking the form of its surrounding can build up into that state of matter. Through experiment, I want to break it down just enough to give space for freedom to shine through. That I mean literally. I made a candle holder which fuses together concrete and sieve.

I wanted to break some parts of its wall to give the candle places to shine through but I really liked the shape that emerged so I decided to try that idea on another example. I spread a layer of concrete onto a plastic sheet and put a sheet of sieve on it, then I applied some oil paint, then another layer of concrete. After 48 hours after it dried I hammered it in several places. I expected the sieve to hold the concrete together even better. I formed a wall out of the layer and put it under some light which created some interesting light- shine throughs.
