5 KNIVES<\/strong>
T\u00f5nu Arrak<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For some time it was a challenge for me, now it has become my profession. I simply wanted to make these objects. It is the thing I do best, it still has not become boring, it still challenges me. These knives have been made in the past year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHEN TIME STOPS \/ the world rushes on<\/strong>
Mari P\u00e4rtelpoeg<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the flow of my time stops: I see grass growing high, seeds ripening, a river finding the way between stones, clouds slowly changing shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knitting silver wire is an old and slow technique of Indian and Tibetan origin, demanding patience \u2013 though thoroughly enjoyable. The details added to chain are either casted or pressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOMEWHERE ELSE <\/strong><\/span>
\u00dclle Voosalu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That which is here is somewhere else.
A thought occurs, rushing past at great speed, and is realized somewhere else.
You only need to begin with an action and it will start reiterating itself, going its own way.
The end result is unpredictable or too simple to predict. It is decided somewhere else.
A game that cannot be captured here and now.
A game that is played somewhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
