Erika Stöckel works with ceramics, creating installations where bulging sculptures act as representations of bodies, often inspired by her Sami heritage and culture. Her work in the exhibition Sense of Shame examines a colonialist process that use structural shame as a tool for oppression through generations. The oppressed and normative body and a questioning of how the subject is made into an object through the gaze, is the focus point of Stõckels artistic practice.
