I have been so busy over at The Yurt Alert I’ve been derelict here, however, I also have had a lull in stumbling up on such inspirational and amorphous works as I typically post. One I have been meaning to post I learned about at Make the other day, that of Henrik Menne.
His works are largely about process and the more erratic forms of creation, something that I’m learning is increasingly more important everyday.
His works are in essence, works in progress, evolving through the machinery that created them in the time that the work is on display.
He seems to stick to materials like glue, dyed glue, and wax for his works — they are liquid when heated but solidify over time when dry allowing for these beuatiful built shapes to emerge.
As I work on the yurt more and more I learn more about my own project in relation to works like Henrik’s — process is as important as the result as the result could be different each time and that many pieces of the outcome aren’t up to the artist at work.
And also — there are no accidents only more knowledge to draw from.
