Formation of Landscapes
Den här texten finns bara tillgänglig på engelska.
The landscapes made me see the vastness,
I had to re-see it again and again
I could forget as the ground cleared itself
And made traces disappear
They would whisper
Even as everything had fallen silent
In their expansion, expansion, expansion
Until I no longer could see
We are the collectors.
In the work Formation of Landscapes, Amalie Hette weaves her way through the landscape she finds herself in. All it encompasses of materials, observations, and perspectives. Through this process, she finds herself working in the same way a landscape does: collecting, shaping, eroding and transforming materials over time.
The process of collecting has become more and more important throughout her work. The collection of materials, techniques, observations, words and ideas. Weaving, writing and the study of colour intertwine, forming the repertoire of landscapes.
The ideas and observations emerge by being in the landscape, and listening to its languages.
Collecting impressions and colors give way to weaving and combining the materials.
The thread and different weaving techniques are words to be written.
It brings her a repertoire, a book of different chapters. They are all made by traces the landscapes leave behind- it’s materials, impressions, patterns, colors.
Being collected.
Transformed.
