Molecules of water
II use plastic bags fill in water, hang from ceiling by fishing strings. Plastic bags seem to be in levitation.
The idea is to walk between these plastic bags, to touch the water, water's temperature, to move the bags and hear water. This installation allows to use our different senses.

Henrik so far
My plan is to use strings or thread that can be develoed into a fragile or more rigid use. A thread on its own is loose and flexible but when energy or a system is added, it becomes more solid. Like a carpet.
This is how I'm going to devolop my element of materials.

Black Room - Snoezelen House
A room that has limited stimulation. It is a room for people who cannot sort their senses. A 'normal' brain has the capacity to store away 80% of things we sense and if one is unable to do that, they can enter madness.

Thoughts
What is reality? What is in our minds? What do we see? What do we feel is inside of us? What do we make up in our heads?

Growing Old In A Foreign Place...
User:
Since I've changed my user from the last time. I will mention a few things about her. Naseeb Kaur, 82 years old has been living in Bergen for the last 40 years. She can speak Norwegian just as much as I can, which is very basic. Yet she manages to grow old and continues a fulfilling life in this foreign place that she now calls home. Although, I question her connection to this place. She and her family have created a place within a place for her. She lives with her youngest son and daughter-in-law and her two really cute grandchildren. She also has another place that she calls home and that is in Punjab, India.
Her life story is like sitting through a history lesson. It is full of displacement and many sad chapters. Her father fought in WWII; she has lived through the partition of India and Pakistan; and later when she was living with her husband and family in Uganda, they were forced to leave the country. Eventually they all settled in Bergen, where they have been living until now.
She and I share a love for embroidery. It is the one passion that has stayed consistent throughout her life. Although now, as she grows old, her hands and eyes are no longer as able to assist her as they once did. She lights up when she talks about the things she's embroidered.
Material and Element:
I'm investigating two different materials that perhaps could interlace.
Cotton:
Naseeb Kaur likes how the cotton feels in her hands, she adds "that cotton clothes are the best to wear, you can try wearing lots of other materials but they are all useless, that is why cotton is the best." I've continued experimenting with cotton as a form by pouring wax on it, in it, by creating soft and hard textures, soft and hard sounds.
Assembling techniques:
Naseeb Kaur shows keen interest in my embroidery techniques that I used to join two pieces together. She tells me that they are correct techniques after which, she brings out her embroidered work to show me. I would like to extend this idea of assembling by creating an exchange between her and the native culture of Bergen.
Phase 2 - In process
Here a pdf-file from SlideShare follows. In this presentation I explain where I am at now in the design process and some of what I have been doing.
