“Between table-top and art, castle and hut, the natural and the man-made, the beautiful and the ugly, the fragile and the coarse ... just in-between.”

InBetween

by Kina Björklund

“Between table-top and art, castle and hut, the natural and the man-made, the beautiful and the ugly, the fragile and the coarse ... just in-between.”

1 July - 17 September 2021 Flow is delighted to showcase a solo show

by Swedish Ceramic Artist Kina Björklund.

Historical references abound in the work of Kina; decoration found in 18th-century ceramics, old lace, antique brooches, and old ironmongery (her sister is an antique dealer). Kina uses these” tools” to stamp her plates and bowls. They provide intricate patterns. She uses terracotta clay and semitransparent glazes, which look like icing on a cake.

“My work always starts at the wheel. I then model, alter and cut patterns. While working, I don’t overthink. I follow my senses, my intuition and make space for chance, which leads me forward. Since I was little, I have loved antique shops, always looking for something that evokes my interest, something different that makes me happy. Just like the feeling in the story of Snow White. The diamonds in the dwarf ’s mine. That’s what I aim for in my work. I never get there, but sometimes I am on my way. The glittering stones against the grey walls, a longing to strive too.

Beautiful, but not too beautiful, something a little ‘in-between’. I follow my restless and somewhat free temperament. Which in my work turns into an organic movement. I am looking for my natural state and what makes me feel happy.”

- Kina Björklund
