Abstract. In the worldview of a traditionally Eastern cultural context, consciousness and matter are intertwined.  In that context  negative and positive spaces relate to each other. With that in mind, the vessel is an interesting object to work with. In my master work I explore "Thinking- through- making", a process where making and thinking alternate back and forth, in iterations. The making or designing can be taking place intuitively.  Scaling down the vessel, to the point where it has no contemporary practical function,  as a way of talking about the exercise of sensitivity, in a fast, loud and insatiable present. Questioning the prevailing value system. By re:learning to become more sensitive, empathy for different types of existence becomes possible, and togetherness between human beings and their companion species opens up. By making (diminutive) stoneware vessels, I enter a long tradition of the time-consuming, hand-building technique of Yixing clay. And hence, contrasts with the technology and scale of contemporary mass production.  Perhaps my vessels are pots to plant seeds for the hope of a future human existence? Or, maybe they are vessels for tears, over human existence? At least they are parts of bedrock coming back together from dissolution, for union.

Detta är den rapport jag skrivit om mitt masterarbete Osynlig sjuk vilket jag arbetatpå från vt2021 till vt2022 vid Konstfack. Målsättningen jag gick in i projektet medvar att börja arbetet med att bredda narrativet och förståelsen om reumatism. Skapanya bilder för att visualisera den fysiska, känslomässiga och mentala upplevelsen avkronisk sjukdom. Att ge en större och bredare bild av vad det innebär att vara sjuk,till de som inte är det men också till de som är det.I slutändan blev detta projekt en samling med berättelser om reumatisk sjukdom.Genom intervjuer samlade jag in upplevelser från 17 individer, vilka alla har olikatyper av reumatism, de upplevelserna tillsammans med min egen blev grunden tillprojektet. Jag skapade en mängd illustrationer vilka jag publicerade på en hemsidasamt deltog vid Konstfacks vårutställning för master-och bildlärarstudenter. Minförhoppning är att genom mina illustrationer utbilda och informera, men även skaparepresentation för oss som kanske aldrig förut sett oss själva.Det finns många fler berättelser och upplevelser än de som existerar här,detta är inget annat än en början.

Today cities are consuming 75% of the world’s resources, which puts significant pressure on areas far from the cities themselves (Stockholm Resilience Center 2022). Food is among the largest drivers of global environmental change contributing to climate change, biodiversity loss, freshwater use, interference with the global nitrogen and phosphorus cycles and land-system change (C40 2024). This thesis describes a proposal for collecting and distributing rain- and stormwater within the context of urban farming and gardening. It explores how design can be a part of creating and promoting self-sufficient cities that are less resource intensive than they are today. Through the lens of Transition Design the proposal are aiming for a positive, system level change and a transition toward desirable long term futures. It can be divided in three sections, The Urban Farmer, The Vessel and The Wooden Aqueducts. The Urban Farmers would live in apartments throughout the city, forming a network of colleagues. The people in the neighborhood would get more understanding of the work that their local farmers do, and they would get more aware of where their food comes from. The vessel collects rain and stormwater and then distributes it when needed. It could act as an object not only for the use of water, but also as a way of sparking discussion, and just as it directs water to the trees, it just as well directs our minds and our attention towards them. The Wooden Aqueducts, inspired by the old craft, could potentially be created as a community practice to engage residents in the surrounding area. When the aqueducts are no longer needed they can remain at the site and be allowed to molder to make the cycles of organic matter visible and to challenge what is considered to be a well managed area. The Urban Farmer, The Vessel and The Wooden Aqueducts are all means to a future vision through a combination of short term, long term, small and big solutions and suggestions.
