Björk Haraldsdóttir
Björk’s work is defined by the interaction of very distinct attributes of form and pattern. The basic premise of ‘draped’ pattern over three-dimensional form is straightforward but the range of expression it allows is vast. Form and pattern are individually and equally important. There is often an ambiguity in the pieces caused by the drape of pattern over form, and Björk often places a rigid, geometric pattern onto an organic form, and vice versa. The ‘grain’ of the pattern vastly alters the perception of a piece and two superficially similar forms will appear unrelated when rendered with different patterns.
