Circular sculpture by Emeli Höcks
GUEST CURATOR KATARINA MATSSON
INTERIOR AFICIONADO KATARINA MATSSON IS NOT ONLY THE EDITOR OF ELLE SWEDEN, SHE'S ALSO THE PERSON BEHIND THE DREAMY HOME OF @ETTRUMTILL. SHE'S A CONSTANT SOURCE OF INSPIRATION THAT WE ALWAYS RETURN TO.
BUYING ART CAN BE DIFFICULT SOMETIMES, SO WE ASKED HER 'HOW DO YOU FIND THE ONE?' AND HER ANSWER IS HEARTWARMINGLY CLOSE TO LOVE.
FINDING THE ONE
by Katarina Matsson
What do I know
What do I know
about love?
My heart knew my husband
before my ears knew
the sound of his voice
my fingertips
the softness of his skin
Loving is seeing
is knowing
Like a spark of
instant recognition
a burst of laughter
without cause
the world born-again
What do I know
about art?
It speaks to me
in the same primitive way
like a silent conversation
between object and soul.
And later:
questions, answers, questions
Or simply:
peace
Art carries everything
there is to say
about the human condition
if you listen
with your eyes
and read
with your heart
Tenderness
fear
strength
desire
shame
joy
it is all there
So, what do I know
about finding the one?
It is listening inwards
while looking outwards
Trying to understand
the other
while getting to know
yourself
It is seeing,
it is knowing
Then again,
maybe it just looks good
"This sculpture Circular by Emeli Höcks is like a doodle come to life in full dimension, frozen in movement, a dance with no beginning or end. I’ve long been fascinated by her experimental approach to materials, where she uses things like recycled paper, mussels, eggshells, charcoal and bone glue."
"How is it possible to fill an mdf board with so much feeling? The series is called undercurrent, a fitting name since it lends itself to a new emotional interpretation each time I watch it."
