“In Greenland, there are maps carved out of wood explaining to newcomers the contours of the fjords, and carved bones representing Tupilaks, the evil spirits, to non-believers.

Together with Lena, we developed our own carved vocabulary, inspired by Greenlandic language (Kalaallisut) made of assemblies of images.

Following ideas of objects I had in mind, I carved three antlers, three sentences describing the function and global shape of tableware. Then from her reading and interpretation of the bones, Lena threw a collection of ceramics and carved them relating our dialogue.”
