Branching

Tallinn, Raja gallery, branches, wool, 2014.

Installation is composed of branches in the shape of a cone resembling a tent. It responds to my studies in Estonia. Fallen branches are collected from the forest near the Sculpture and Installation department in Tallinn. Branches are broken off and fallen to the ground, therefore the live material has become lifeless. The shape of the installation reminds the shape of a tent or a teepee. Problem is that it has no entrance and you can not get in. Another disadvantage is that it would rain inside, so it is missing all the characteristics what the tent should have. Branches are connected by wool. I chose four colors; blue green yellow and red. Wool should evoke a feeling of warmth. This material symbolize my knowledge about Estonia as through branches (forest) and wool (knitting). Top of this work is open same as life.
