EXPLORATIONS: SA STEINSKULPTUR
A place for practice and exploration.
Through bronze casting, stone sculpting, drawing, and building, different scales and disciplines are explored side by side.
Working across materials and methods creates room for architectural questions to be considered beyond the finished building. Through process, resistance, and making. The space supports a way of working informed by craft, construction, and everyday tasks.
SHED FOR BRONZE CASTING MOLDS — ROOF AS INTERVENTION
The original roof had begun to deteriorate and required replacement.
This necessity created an opportunity to introduce a measured intervention within the existing structure.
A translucent polycarbonate insert was integrated into the new roof, following the original construction logic rather than altering it. During the day, the insert brings diffuse daylight into the space. At night, it receives light from an exterior lamp, allowing illumination to enter indirectly.
The intervention extends the spatial qualities of the structure through light, preserving its character while improving its usability.

GRAVE STONE – X RAISED THIS STONE IN MEMORY OF Y
The recurring runestone formula “X raised this stone in memory of Y” represents a restrained and materially grounded memorial practice in early Scandinavian culture. Meaning is not carried by narrative or symbolism, but by the act of raising the stone and allowing it to remain present in the landscape.
The inscription functions less as a message than as confirmation of an action already completed. Memory is externalized into material form and delegated to the stone’s endurance over time. The logic is precise: the stone is raised because the person has fallen. What stands is not a representation of the individual, but a material presence occupying space in their stead.
This logic informs the gravestone study presented here. The stone is conceived as a spatial presence rather than an expressive object. A subtle curvature regulates proximity and establishes a shallow spatial depth, allowing the body to approach the stone rather than simply observe it. Meaning arises through form, weight, and encounter, aligning the work with a tradition where remembrance is produced through material presence and duration rather than inscription.
