To Irine Røsnes

Architects, luthiers, designers, urban planners, and other dreamers, imagine a Platonic aesthetic intended use of the object of their creativity. A vision of beauty in action. Yet lives / masses / swarms / users have their ways, and soon emerge lines of desire.

This piece is an ode to the beauty of aging and experience, of traces of time passing and writing its story, of patina and of wrinkles, of used leather boots, of rusty structures, of crow’s feet. Fragile and subtle at first, these lines, in the wake of usage, are the witnesses of the soft and gentle resistance of the ignored wanderer.

It is an homage to the emerging beauty of subversive (ab)uses.
