Johanneberg Sand Sculpture | Linder & Sandhelden

 
 

Super excited to share my latest sculpture!

Created in collaboration with Sandhelden in Germany, it’s made using their unique sand 3D-printing process, which allowed me to transform my digital design into a real, tactile object.

I’ve titled it Johanneberg after my neighborhood, as a small nod to the Bauhaus-inspired functionalist architecture in the area. The piece is part of an open edition and is sort of a play with perspective, space and geometry.

It’s now available in the Available Works section of the site.
And just a note: in the animation, I played a bit freely with color! For the sculpture’s true tones, check out the photographs through the link.

Symmetri manual/plotter - drawing

 
 
 

I think it’s interesting how strict geometry can still feel soft and human through these layered, textured lines. The mechanical pencil’s recurring mechanical failures give the process a life and randomness that’s pretty funny concidering how structured the process otherwise would be, I was concerned that bringing a plotter into the mix would make the drawings too rigid and ordered but the effect was the opposite: the plotter is way less ordered than I am and these drawings that are part human and part machine are less ordered than my purely manual drawings. My machine is humaning better than me at the moment strangely enough, I can’t but laugh.

Added to DRAWINGS and AVAILABLE WORKS!

Symmetri" is one of my first plotter/manual drawings, created with a 2D pen plotter I recently brought into the studio as a kind of assistant.

For this piece, I worked with an automatic pencil, adjusting both tension and lead softness to achieve depth and darker tones. It’s an early experiment in trying to combine mechanical precision with the sensitivity of hand-drawn graphite.
