I Break Up Painting

In the series [ Fone ] Pedersen is working with transformation from a sketch-collage to making paintings that appear like collages but are not. She processes through head and hand and translates the temporary collage onto a sketch on canvas. She monumentalizes the objects from the collage and aims for the picturesque result to appear as a collage with an inherent experience of the expression of the temporary collage. The paintings are painted like collages without being collages. Motifs are old telephones and telephone pipes, characters from her old comics being on the phone, different shapes, patterns, numbers and phone numbers. The telephones are cultural icons that express a spirit of mind that Pedersen invites to recall. In that era, we talked specifically with each other when we communicated via the phone. Maybe there was room for more intimacy? Serious conversations were conducted face-to-face. In our present world, filled with an overwhelming range of digital communicative remedies that will facilitate and speed up our dialogue, Pedersen finds that people may have trouble using the phone in the same way. She is interested in whether we reach each other when communicating. The basis of her theme is a sense of the everyday life and the near, cultural changes, the overlooked, added with humor and seriousness. The project's title [ Fone ] has deliberately double-sided references. She has twisted the word "phone" as phonetic transcription in square brackets to add a sound image to the series. In addition to the specific meaning of the word "telephone", there is also a more implicit reference in the title in the form of the imperative "Call!", but without the exclamation point.
