the “port” being the theme of the exhibition, it of new works with direct references to sailor uniforms, sails, wooden planks and rope reinterpreted through textile and clay pieces, a poem as well as parts from a bygone shipwreck from the western part of jutland.

ratzer’s contribution to the exhibition was a huge, rather feminine, corner piece resembling a ship sail installed directly on the bare concrete walls. in addition, she showed one meticulously executed five-sided, hand-made fixtures hung from the ceiling, creating a sort of floating flower lifesaver in neon colors and sailor stripes and had a laced, raw rope of beautiful residual textiles hung on the coarse outer wall – invited visitors inside.
