'The Phoenix' represents an ancient creature that symbolizes the power of rebirth. With this work I aim to capture the tension between victoriously rising from the ashes and starting a new path: "I’ve died a thousand deaths, each time reinventing myself brighter, stronger, and purer than before. From the midst of destruction, I became the creator of myself. From the midst of darkness, I became my own source of light.” - Cristen Rodgers 'The Phoenix' is constructed from discarded hard wooden chairs (oak and beech) bound together with little screws. The work symbolizes the essence of my practice that investigates the re-creation of the life of discarded materials and objects reborn.

Spreading intangible, embodied, and personal forms of knowledge is intricately related to how I strive to preserve cherished memories. An essential element in my work is the contrast between the rational functionality of the materials and the emotional meaning of objects. Transforming the belongings of a client by integrating their personal identities into iconic objects, I interfere with this relationship changing it’s meaning. The new piece becomes a carrier for memories and knowledge that is cherished and fostered into the future. Transforming into a vessel for the owners’ energy rather then just a use-object. Every art piece I make has multiple layers of meaning that transcend its material and tactile characteristics, like an object’s history, the memories of the owner en the value that is given to a ‘thing’. The exterior of a thing does not reveal the affinity one can have with an object and how valuable it is. This resides with in the eye of the beholder and is expressed through a dialogue with others.
