A fascination with urban and architectural subjects is evident in Made in Ruins, where the fragmented qualities of a deconstructed ruin are examined.

The spindle staircase doesn’t seem to lead anywhere; on the contrary, it seems to fall apart. Underneath the stair’s functional steps there exist complex, underlying constructions with their own extensive urban structures. In the sculpture, the inner, complex constructions appear in contrast to the solid and coherent baluster, casing and skirting boards.

The subject of time is of great importance in Made in Ruins. Even though the broken spindle staircase stands as if frozen in time, the exposed parts of the sculpture lead the imagination past the frozen present and towards unknown tales of a past and a future. Made in Ruins deals with questions about the power struggle between inner and outer constructions, between construction and deconstruction, and finally between beauty and decay.
