I det åbne rum har Maria Toll lavet et mønstret stof af papirklippekunst på linoleum. Stofets motiv består af abstrakte geometriske former, der formes af en blanding mellem de forskellige farvegrader af papirkortene. Målet med værket er at opfylde pladsens størrelse.

Papirklippekunsten bruges ofte som en underliggende struktur til at skabe sammenhænge i noget uformel eller usammenholdt. I den fysiske verden kunne man tage udgangspunkt i disse abstrakte former og kredser omkring dem, mens man samtidig bevæger sig rundt i sine egne tankemønter. De abstrakte figurer kan fungere som indre symboler for vores tanker, følelser og andet interiør-tilstand.

Maleriet viser et blandet landskab: to græsblade, en flade blyant, et hvidt hvæsjuligt bord og en rød gulvfladefarvede figur, som er fastlagt i et transparent overfladeformat. En trilogi i form af tre 10x15 cm små maleri på akrylmalebord står i rummet.

Maria Toll (f. 1974) bor og arbejder i København.

En skolepige laver en du med brevet fra sin far ude ved kysten. Den synger undervejs mellem stationer med andre pige-duer i landets kor. På Sydhavn Station samler en gruppe omkring duen og lytter. Når den forsvinder ind i sporet, begynder alle at snøre sig om håret med fagre strålrækker.

Tak til dem der roede efter tømmer, og til dem der passede børn mens der blev sat op.

Brevduerne i den nordlige vogn bærer det korte, bådene det lange.

Maria Toll

In the open space Maria Toll has made a patterned cloth out of paper collage on linoleum in the shape of abstract geometric figures formed by different shades from the colored strips of the papers used. The purpose with this work is to fill up the size of the room.

The technique of paper collage is often used as an underlying structure to create connections within something informal or unstructured. In the physical world one could take off at these abstract shapes and circle around them while moving around ones own thoughts. These abstractive figures can also function as inner symbols for our way of thinking, feeling etc.

The painting shows a mixed landscape: two blades of grasses, a white pencil case, a blue tablecloth and a red figure painted like a floor varnish standing in front of a clear surface format. A trilogy consisting of three small paintings measuring 10 x 15cm placed on canvas boards stands inside the room.

Maria Toll was born in 1974, she lives and works in Copenhagen

A schoolgirl makes a letter with her father's mail from the coast into a pigeon by tying it to its leg. It sings along the tracks between stations in choirs of girls around Denmark. At Sydhavn Station people gather around and listen as the pigeon flies through. When she disappears down the track, everyone ties their hair up with pretty sunbursts.

Thanks to those who rowed for timber, and to those who minded children while it was being put up.

The pigeons in the northern railcar carry the short messages, the boats the long ones.
