Kristin is a sculptor and ceramicist, she is
especially interested in materials and techniques, and continuously try out new techniques and see the surfaces possibilities
as her primary challenge – it can be
seductive, treacherous, cold, warm, or have almost any character. She describes her work in ceramics to be much about surfaces applied on form, and you will often find the
shape of the figurative sculptures is closed, and their faces are unfathomable. Beneath the artfully crafted surface, one senses painful experiences and difficult-to-resolve human inner conflicts – not without a melancholy trait.
