The discoveries she makes both on land and at sea are collected into an unorganized archive for later use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the samples gathered during her winter trips, a kind of herbarium emerged. Instead of photographing the findings, which would have been the most natural approach for Haaland, she chose to make direct positive impressions of them in bone china.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When illuminated, either artificially or naturally, bone china is characterized by high translucency, somewhat similar to thin alabaster. The effect produced by the impressions in bone china resembles early photographic processes or X-rays. For Haaland, it was important to create something reminiscent of the physical act of walking along the beach and searching for interesting forms. She aimed to approach the three-dimensional, sculptural aspect rather than the two-dimensional, which is often associated with photography. For her castings, Haaland chose to work with the recognizable Polaroid format. The Latin term \u201crebus\u201d translates to \u201cthings.\u201d Rebus\/Winter Beach is a blueprint of the state of things, a cabinet of curiosities that collectively presents a rebus akin to ancient pictograms that we cannot fully decipher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/site.nord.no\/benthic-ecology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2026\/06\/Cecilie-Haaland-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-816\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.nord.no\/benthic-ecology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2026\/06\/Cecilie-Haaland-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/site.nord.no\/benthic-ecology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2026\/06\/Cecilie-Haaland-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/site.nord.no\/benthic-ecology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2026\/06\/Cecilie-Haaland-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/site.nord.no\/benthic-ecology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2026\/06\/Cecilie-Haaland-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/site.nord.no\/benthic-ecology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2026\/06\/Cecilie-Haaland-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title of the artwork: Rebus\/Winter Beach Research theme: Chemical food (Arunima Sen (UNIS), read more&#8230;) From the artist: Rebus\/Winter Beach intertwines Cecilie Haaland\u2019s practices as a ceramicist and photographer.
