An organic form is in a growth process, upwards, downwards and inwards, outwards. A state between natural formation and human construction. It stretches towards the sky and searches the direction in wich to grow further. In a state of drought, the form awaits the next opportunity to continue its formation. The next rain, the next river, the next water.

Clay soils are ancient sea and lake bottoms formed both during and after the Ice Age. As fine-grained weathering product, it can be transported relatively far from its area of origin when the particles follow the water currents out to sea or to larger lakes where it can form large-scale deposits.

Clay is found in various building traditions throughout the world, both in contemporary and historical. Even modern building techniques are based on the properties we have learned from clay. Organ is as much a part of the natural landscape as our human heritage. The viewer can sense its scent and engage with the work through their physical body.
