BALLOONS- About the Artist

Kristin Antonsen is a Norwegian Artist who mainly with modelling and slab building of different kinds of stoneware.

'My primary area in ceramics is form and texture and the possibilities that lie in using different kinds of clay. I often use oxides and other colorants to emphasize the surface texture, rather than covering the clay with glaze. To me, it is a point that the clay itself is the central theme and good enough in itself.”

She often uses humour in her works, which is often in the borderland between sculptural and utilitarian forms. Her bird cages from the series “Kunsten går åt skogen” are representative for her works, and perhaps what many people connects with her studio.

She is accepted as a member in the organisation “Norske Kunsthåndverkere” – The Norwegian Association of Arts and Crafts.
