Märta Mattsson finds beauty in things that other people find strange or are even repulsed by. “I become fascinated when there is something you do not want to see and the feeling you get when you do not want to look at something, yet you still do.” Inspired by 18th century cabinets of curiosities, Märta takes seemingly inappropriate materials and turns them into extraordinary objects of astonishment. The spiders and beetles she uses are transformed and reborn: given a new life as objects of wonder.
