Stains, cracks and imperfections in our everyday environment, Stains & Ashes explores these often overlooked elements, transforming them into sculptures, sketches or apertures. The book invites us to delve into a world where the ordinary becomes matter for contemplation. Far from aiming for sharp focus, Ola Rindal employs blurriness and abstraction to express distance, the inability to fully grasp reality – like a fading memory or a fragment of the subconscious.
