Matilda Kästel
Artist Statement
My interest in glass lies within it's inherent properties and ambiguities as a material; hard but fragile, beautiful but potentially dangerous. In it's warm state so soft it can be shaped by the hand; in it's cold state hard, cold and sharp. To me this paradox is useful to create a contradictory experience; a meeting between beauty and discomfort.
I work with glass and mixed media, whether it's other materials, kinetics or performance. Working with interaction, the body is an important part of my process. Both as an inspiration, but also as a working tool and as a recipient. I seek to include a tension in my work, a sense of not knowing exactly what an object is or what it's meant for. Often something desirable and attractive, but also slightly unpleasant and uncomfortable. I think of my work as feminist strategies in applied art.
