The artist works with the concept of filtration in an intuitive manner – in her piece, minerals, water, organic life, and the waste of civilization meet and interact in a fundamental process of maintenance that requires a great deal of time and cooperation. By transcending the duality of organic and inanimate matter, she attempts to bring experiences together, to engage in a kind of speculative game in which metals grow into wood and originally soft materials find themselves in heavy bodies. From classical antiquity until the eighteenth century, minerals and metals were believed to grow underground just like organic matter. In this and similar fictional notions, science blends with poetry and sometimes becomes incomprehensible, while nevertheless offering a vast range of limitless and undogmatic possibilities.
