Tove Storch's new works Untitled no. I - V includes ceramic objects placed in a grid imitating the structure of a small-scaled shelf.

The artist continues her investigations of a sculptural form, and the spatial possibilities and structures, by which she is finding new ways to explore how an object can take form and how it can be perceived.
The ceramic material marks a new direction in Storch’s body of work, a way which allows her to keep tracing methods on how to materialize the process of creating. Storch also continues experimenting with the combination of materials, which often create the similar friction or movement she is aiming to reveal by allowing the working process to become visible. The meeting between metal and ceramics shows how contradictions of materials and structures can create a new spatial experience. In her most recent 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, and the process itself 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. 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.

Tove Storch’s artistic project can be viewed as a continuous investigation of scupltural possibilities. Her works challenges the viewers perception of space and reality and ask questions to what sculpture is and is able to do. In a combination of a tight minimal mode of expression and delicate, fragile materials her works give physical shape to complex reflections on form, time and shape.
