CARBON COPIES
The Princessehof National Museum of Ceramics presents EKWC@Princessehof: Keeley Haftner - Carbon Copies from 29 April to 29 October 2023. Haftner (Canada, 1985) has developed a body of work that explores sustainability, specifically our ecological footprint. The nine sculptures in the Princessehof are made from discarded artworks by Frances Whitehead. By pulverising them and using the debris as the basis for her new work, Haftner created new artworks with the recycled material. Carbon Copies consists of a series of ceramic works and a large drawing that reflects upon the CO2 emissions released in the transport and manufacturing process. The Netherlands-based artist created the work during a residency at European Ceramic Work Centre (EKWC) in 2021.
