Measuring The Unknown I

The artwork Measuring the Unknown I is created as a form of sprouting and transformation of a jumpsuit.
The transformation has been achieved by using the work Measuring the Unknown; a 17.7 meter long tape measure, where all the centimeter segments are placed in random order. The tape measure is a measure of skewness and randomness. A kind of paradox.
Measuring the Unknown I is thus created as a reinterpretation and a skewed version of a purchased jumpsuit pattern, and is continuously exploring concepts such as the uncontrollable and normality.

The world is in need of what isn’t immediately visible or easily understood.
The skewed, the crumpled, the ill-fitting, the untamable — the soft, the shapeless, the magical, all that refuses to be boxed in.
The sap and the strength.
That which seeps and sprouts above, beneath, and through everything.
