Swedish ceramicist Hanna Salomonsson’s work straddles the boundary between sculptural and functional ceramics. Her practice explores how our childhood landscapes are imbued with emotions and fleeting memories, and echoes of the gnarly branches, moss covered boulders and bottomless bogs of the Swedish woodlands can be distinguished in her ceramic pieces. Often these traces are paired with glimmers of urban wilderness found in decaying London surfaces, structures and spaces. Her work is produced using a range of hand building techniques such as coiling, slab construction and various carving methods.
