Artist list
Tove Knuts
It's been five years since my Dad Lennart passed away. He was a skilled wood craftsman and he left a workshop full of finished, almost-finished, and unfinished pieces behind him, along with a lot of other things that he collected during his life. He never threw anything away, instead, he put all his good-to-have things in a sort of archive.
In this project, the starting point has been my Dad and his remains. The work is a dialogue between us where we connect in what we have in common, but the project also reflects the contrasts in our differences. There is a trademark in the family that Dad has used to sign his creations by burning them into the wood. I have used the same technique to make patterns on wooden surfaces. I have used the trademark but also made my own tool - a solid crochet stitch that gives a crocheted surface when reported.
Dad lived in his house in the woods and used only natural materials in his work. I ended up in the city and have a passion for artificial, man-made materials. He collected special pieces of wood and stones, I collect my own and others' rubbish, mostly plastic. The jewelry that is the result of the work expresses these contrasts and similarities.
