Agnes Larsson

This piece from Agnes Larsson’s Remains series challenges the expectations of materiality and transformation. The necklace, composed of aluminum, pure skin, horsehair, and iron, blurs the boundaries between softness and rigidity. The aluminum surface, typically strong and reflective, takes on the quality of weathered skin, its wrinkles capturing a sense of time and erosion. The horsehair, flowing yet structured, evokes both movement and preservation, a relic of what once was.

Larsson’s approach is one of deconstruction and reconstruction, breaking materials down to their essence before rebuilding them into unexpected forms. Her work explores the liminal space between body and object, questioning permanence, memory, and the physical imprints left behind. Remains is an exploration of presence through absence, a meditation on what is lost and what is reimagined.
