Good afternoon everyone,

How are you? As you know I spent last week in the charming town of Växjö, one of the highlights of which is the glass museum. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit, and here are some of the women glass artists whose work I especially liked:

Frida Fjellman makes these delightful vases that look like critters. Apparently when you put flowers in them they look really surprised, it changes how you percieve their little faces:

Firstly I need to choose the type of animal. It can come from an idea that’s been brewing over time. Then a pose that will match my design objective. I would also have to decide what the animal will project. At the same time I will have to read up on that particular animal, both facts and people’s private experiences.

There aren't any Åsa Jungnelius interviews I can find, so instead please enjoy this sculpture. These are particularly cool in the museum because you can see the exaggerated scale, which is something I really like in an artwork. Basically if you want to guarantee that I will engage with your artwork, make something very everyday but either way tinier or totally massive. Thank you Åsa Jungnelius:

There are two rooms devoted to the collaboration of Birgitta Ahlin and Sirkka Lehtonen. If they do interviews, they definitely don't do them in English, so once again here are pictures to enjoy:

Have a lovely weekend <3

Alex.
