Wool Carpet; Wool, natural latex. Edition of 1. Approx. 360cm x 270cm.

Play/Plain Dead is a work in the balance between the domestic and the corporate. Designed as an exclusive interior decorating article, a specially made hand crafted wool carpet, it is furtermore in a colour that is between the soothing and the repressing. The work encompasses and engages two different models of desire that are often seen as opposed: On the one hand the outline is refering to an architectural element that is not there, but has a powerful presence in its absence. On the other hand it has a field of representations of parcels —or gifts— playfully placed as stepping-stones over a field of blue-green. This is almost something akin to a desiring field and a more affirmative state of desire —however, always kept within the 'check' of the physical borders of the carpet.
