About
Ida Elke works from an independent studio situated in a bird sanctuary in the Danish woods. Her practise is revolved around conceptual thinking, form experiments, writing and giving life to singular and limited editions furniture and handmade objects.
With a background within contemporary arts she takes advantage of the expectations we have for our furniture, and reflects them in a context where the function becomes a medium for the sensory og aesthetic experience. The function becomes the genre that defines the space to act within. Her work is a challenge of that space, with unconventional choices rooted in visual and tactile perception.
»My practice is orientated around experimental processes with matter and thoughts. I am interested in how we connect with objects, ephemeral and stable, and the influence objects and surroundings have on our consciousness. How energy transfers through matter and thoughts«
