Released in 2014 on the occasion of the exhibition 'Butter' at Tollbodallmenningen 39.
A crucial aspect of Fonn Skåre’s work is that he sees his whole practice as sculpture, even though he works across media and “categories”. As an insight into his sculptural practice, by way of a publication, Scrapbook, he speaks of his use of books as ‘context tools in exhibitions,’ but also as ‘three-dimensional containers of two-dimensional surfaces.‘
‘Scrapbook is an attempt at solving my problem with articulating ideas developed through physical work in text format. The images are from various sources and relate to my work in different ways. Two images are juxtaposed on each spread. The juxtaposition is expanded "through" the book by arranging all the images in layers. This creates overlapping collages with repetitions and shifts in the image combinations. The layering of images tries to blend these two features together.’
An understanding of this work as integral to his sculptural practice as a whole is then succinctly articulated: ‘Scrapbook is "sculptural", but on the book’s own premises.’
