Irene Nordli: Selected works, 2019-2022
Irene Nordli’s organic vessels have references to the body – as the vessel or the pot often has. The vessels are assembled and built up of fragments with different textures into three-dimensional collages. The fragments are direct imprints of objects and figures from her surroundings. The power and movement she put into the works will be present even after the firing process, after the living soft clay has become hard porcelain. The porcelain carries with it its history and value, and her containers are like a disturbing echo from the golden ages of porcelain.
