Series: Afterthoughts
Year: 2022
In the first works in the series Afterthoughts, there is often one vegetable that looks at us. In the last year, the one has more often become two, so that from a state of solitude a partnership is formed. Two that belong together. Like in this work of two potatoes in a cosmic dance.
What happens to the old and wrinkly ones? The items we leave in the cupboard for too long? Are they entirely without purpose? Not worth a second glance? Cecilie discovered that the family's storage room is the perfect place to create weird fates out of organic material, such as vegetables, fruits and plants. Rather than discarding these dried-out shapes, she rediscovers them in total darkness. Cecilie is painting them with light from her torch and making them into 21st century still lifes.
