    Obraumche (How to get the sweet from the centre)

    • 2019
    • Chantel Mierau

    Obraumche is a Plautdietsch word that refers to the centre, most delicious part of watermelon. In this work, the artist forms a drain clog, and then works to find its “Obraumche”. Instead of dealing with the delicious, this work is an interplay of gross textures resulting from the body’s activities.
