After countless hikes in mighty alpine mountains, I have observed directions and formations found in this landscape, and how it is presented under different weather conditions. I have chosen to incorporate this in my work, but without a desire to create an exact replica as I personally think it is best to experience the mountains in person.

The material used is veneer sheets from old plywood boards. The sheets have changed their qualities over time, where they have become very fragile and they have a new play of colours. I have clad a triangular construction with several such sheets, so that the sheets cover the entire surface and stand up against each other and form a tension at the top where they meet. The brittleness disappears when the surface of the structure is covered with these sheets, as this becomes like a closed larger mass, and the tension at the top presents a strength that was not known to exist in the material.
Furthermore, this breaks out of a white surface in acrylic, where acrylic paint has been poured on a OSB plate. At first, this surface is glossy, but becomes dull and cracks form when it dries. This gives the structure a force, as it looks like the wooden structure breaks through this surface with an enormous force. This can also draw lines to a weather phenomenon where sea fog enters in alpine mountains by the coast, and only the highest peaks break through with enormous force.

Mounted on the wall so as not to create too large associations to alpine mountains, but rather form a work that speaks for itself
