This work is about the force of fire – its ability to shift something from one state to another, from inanimate to animate. Fire holds a primal transformative force; it helps let go.

In these series, various broom and brush objects were created – objects which, in a second step, were burned.
In a later performative act – by movements we know from cleaning, from the primal, repetitive urge for change – these brooms and brushes are set on fire. They are given off to redo, renew a space by their own traces.
