Olve Fjeld-Eiken
Soft Porn, Hard Labor

As metal cools down at night, lubricant hardens and diligence blurs, leisure nonetheless cuts and welds the essence of labor. Behind bars, frottaged and stoked, Fjeld-Eiken’s sculptures cross paths as bastards mold tin and froth. The reluctance is palpable. As wild tears when jack trolley, subliminal messages unfold as rigid. A question lingers behind the dark throne. Ever eaten a piece of metal? I have. Not because of its vitamins. -Lars Nordby
