Change comes from within

I have been involved in a relay project where I received a poem and had to visually interpret it.

When I had made my artwork, I had to send it to another artist who would make something new with inspiration from looking at what I had made The project given to me by Demoteket runs for a month and started when I got this piece of text, on which I had to base my inspiration for my artwork:

As the world changed

Change can be gray hair, which rise

Light on the nose after long days in the shade

Poles melting

Rainforests that are overturned

Change can come from the neighbor and right on the other side of Mars

You can find it in your laundry basket and seek it out on the capital’s nightclubs

It may come as postmodern nausea over the passage of the hustle and bustle

As a friend more on facebook

A friend less in fact

A broken heart can change the world

A dead dictator can change the world

And you can sit and drink coffee while enjoying the spring sunshine and changing the world

The word that stuck with me most with me was the word change, so I brainstormed on that, here are my thoughts of the process: Transformation, something that changes – cells changing from cancer, from bad to good! Google cells, inner universe, skin structure close up and cracking. All cells in our body are replaced after 7 years we are new people – huge change, Seven year itch. Some feared (cancer cells) made beautiful!. Inner change. Beauty and the Beast

After this little brainstorming session I could clearly see that I wished to make a piece of artwork which revolved around beauty vs. ugly. And that things which are looked upon as ugly also have beauty as decease cells.

When I had made my artwork, I had to send it to another artist who would make something new with inspiration from looking at what I had made. The guy who got my artwork is a musician and I can´t wait to hear what he composes. Simultaneously we where four artist who started the 1´st april and the replay ends at the end of April, and by that time 28 artist´s will have made an interpretation of each others artwork.
