When in Copenhagen visiting Kristina Dam I obtained a sneak peek of her newest sculptures. The ‘Contour Sculptures’, which are available in two sizes, have been fantastically offered in one of many rooms of the Copenhagen house.
The method of making these items got here from a workshop with Danish artist Katrine Blinkenberg. With Katrine as a information, a collection of sculptures was created in plaster by hand. The plaster is poured into big balloons after which formed based mostly on the stress to which the plaster is uncovered in the course of the drying course of. The result’s natural shapes which are each participating and charmingly exaggerated.
This sculpting technique has been carried out for hundreds of years, notably by famed Danish sculptor Bertel
Thorvaldsen, first creating sculpture in plaster after which re-creating the piece in additional treasured,
sturdy supplies, together with marble, travertine, or sandstone.
Restricted version Contour Sculptures
Kristina Dam chosen two sculptures and determined to supply them in sandstone in a restricted
version run of solely 100 numbered items. Kristina Dam Studio all the time works with high-quality, pure
supplies; taking a malleable materials and transferring the form into one thing more durable and extra
everlasting is one in every of materials refinement. That is important to Kristina Dam Studio’s ‘sculptural
minimalism’ philosophy.
Positively a design to recollect! Contour sculptures can be out there from January 2024.
