This event has ended.

Working with a limited palette and an improvisational process, Christine Gedeon's pieces are inspired by aerial-view landscape drawings and maps.

From this inspiration she invents plots and spaces and plays on abstraction of something usually designed for precision and specificity. Mitsutaka Konagi's process in clay is refined and methodical. With an incredible attention to detail Mitsutaka creates miniature building blocks. Individually crafted, they are assembled on both horizontal and vertical surfaces to create a plane of texture defined not only by the pieces themselves, but the shadows they create.

The mixed media sculptures created by Ulrika Strömbäck are investigations of movement and gravity. Chance, accidents and randomness are given room to act within structured systems, simultaneously ruining some constructions and creating situations for new ones to grow. While her forms hint at traditional vessels they have been reconstructed to become something far more elusive.
Landscape Story presents three artists simultaneously working in the craft tradition while moving to blur the lines of such distinctions. With no slight to traditional artisans, Gedeon, Konagi, and Strömbäck take a playful wink at the past while stepping confidently to a future wondrous and unknown.
