This project was developed for FINE DYING MISSCHIEFS, an exhibition and ceremonial collection of
handmade objects inspired by the symbolic murder of Virginia Woolf's phantom in 'Professions for Women'. In this text, the author metaphorically kills her phantom to liberate herself and create freely as a woman.
by Fredrik Dölling
TORCH was one of my contributions - a series of ritualistic sculptures that marked the beginning and end of the
FINE DYING ceremony. A ceremony that celebrates the necessarydeath of female prejudice, and invites us to re-define the terms of our individual and collective experience.
Pointing to Virginia Woolf´s story, shells trap and kill invaders that enter their interior by creating a pearl - “Had I not killed her she would have killed me” (Woolf). The project arrives from an interest in the ephemerality of rituals and questioning how objects can help mark and represent these.
