Björk Haraldsdóttir
Björk’s work demonstrates strong sculptural/Architectural forms.
At the core is a conversation between three-dimensional form and two-dimensional pattern. Ambiguity is created by placing a rigid geometric pattern on sometimes an organic form, or vice versa, altering perception of the work.
The patterns are meticulously drawn onto the surface of slipped clay, the slip is then partially removed creating contrasting monochrome patterns. The scrape marks are visible and the surface is a plane of shallow relief, much like a tapestry. The tactile nature of these pieces is important – they invite touch, in the same way as a draped cloth might.
