Cosmic Mediums

2006 ~ 2026

Signe Emdal´s artworks are fragments of ancient principles, combined by hand in a poetic process to create Mediums. This part of her practice with building physical foundational Mediums for her narratives, is inspired by the Interstellar Medium (ISM) and rooted in the artist's technical 20 years of experience in tracking, archiving and building structural expressions for a future world with analogue and digital tools.

Below you see when the Mediums where created, and the journey through time. Enjoy!
