Interpretation of a fossil, 2019
cowhide, hay, natural cord, synthetic net, and plastic bags; 25cm x 10cm x 20cm
The replica of Ötzi’s shoe is made from an ancient and partly still common knotting technique that dates back to prehistoric times. On a short excursion to the Ötzi Museum, each student should choose an object and interpret it. By imitating the original, an awareness of the object and of the prehistoric time.
I made the shoes to fit my feet perfectly, an exciting process in which I explored the replica of the fossil and the material. I looked for plastic remains from the house for further interpretation and elaborated them. In the end, the two shoes stand side by side in: techniques, materials, colours and forms.
