BLADCOLLAGER - LEAF COLLAGE SERIES

Is a series of kilncast wallpieces inspired by leaves, exploring surfaces, structure and lines and colour. The pieces are made by imprints of leaves and made in kilncasting and Lost wax technique. The first collection of leaves were gathered various places in Denmark during summer season 2019, naming each piece after the type of leaf used for building up the collage and the place where the original leaf was collected.

During summer 2023 I collected new leaves: Fig leaves and mulberry leaves from Bornholm - and poplar leaves from Ærø and Copenhagen.
