In her new works from 2019 Tove Storch continues investigating a sculptural form through the media ceramics. The new sculptures were made at Tommerup Ceramic Workshop, during her stay at the workshop preparing for her comprehensive commission for Jyllands Postens new headquarter in Aarhus Harbor in the Northern part of Denmark. Yet different in size, they seem to resemblance a similar visual language, where metal and ceramics interact. The ceramic material marks a new direction in Storch’s body of work, which arise from her investigations of the material. The meeting between metal and ceramics shows how contradictions of materials and structures can create a new spatial experience.
In her works, Tove Storch is interested in how clay changes from a soft material to a hard form, from wet to dry, and how movement can be shown in a static object. Movement is an essential part of these sculptures because it is how the working process reveals itself to the viewer, which marks an absolute center point in Storch sculptures; The sculptures stand there as if they were a frozen image of a movement, caught in the very moment when the ceramic and glaze feel into place.

In her new ceramic objects, Storch then continues her investigations of how the character of a material changes accordingly to the counter material and how the combination of a soft and hard material affects our experience of a sculptural form.
