Lumps, lumps, lumps become bumps on my tongue

The young Swedish artist Melanie Kitti’s writing and visual arts
practice stems from a place of disruption, fragmentation, and
discontinuity. Her acclaimed literary debut, Halvt urne, halvt gral
(Half Urn, Half Grail, Gyldendal, 2022), collects succinct and
fleeting notes on a family—and consequently a mental state—
about to dissolve. Her painterly practice employs DIY fresco
techniques on bulks created from, for instance, plaster. Using
materials impossible to preserve, she creates a frailty always
at risk of imploding.
