Beneath the surface of craft

Artwork description: Rosita Ståhl strives for poetic expression in her sculptures and installations. She employs a narrative based on her own experiences, memories, feelings and places. For her, the craft and creators are important and the fact that there is work behind the surface. With the properties of glass, she wants to tell different stories where light, shadows, reflections and refractions are important alongside with the visibility/invisibility of the maker. Using video and sound, Ståhl inserts herself or other creators as narrators in the work. She wants to awaken minds and start discussions on underlying layers and processes. She here works with the glass as a lens in front of a video of her blowing glass at Konstfack. The texture on the piece comes from scraps of other glassblowers pipes and leftovers. The result becomes a light formation onto the wall where you can only guess what is behind the surface.
