Nach dem Feld (After the Field) is a two-part series that explores the traces and weight of influences that accumulate around us, often without our full awareness or control.
The sculptures are composed of body fragments made from steel wire, based on parts of my own body. Using industrial electromagnets, these fragments are magnetized and then embedded in transparent epoxy resin.
During the production process, the steel-wire body fragments are placed inside silicone molds. Once the electromagnets are activated, liquid epoxy resin is added and iron powder is introduced into the material. The magnetized steel wire attracts the iron particles, creating a movement within the liquid resin. As the resin hardens, this movement is preserved within the material, capturing the invisible structure of the magnetic field. After curing, the three-dimensional form of the magnetic field becomes visible.
In this work, the magnet serves as a metaphor for the process of attraction and holding. Whatever accumulates leaves a trace and creates weight. The transparent sculptures make this condition visible.
