Artist Profile: Marianne Hallberg
I recently came across the work of Marianne Hallberg and figured I’d better share it with you all as it’s so lovely.
Sadly her website isn’t in english but here is the google translate version, which is hopefully accurate enough.
“The material I use is stoneware with a white tin glaze, decorated with cobalt oxide. Firing temperature is 1250 ° C.
Use items are rolled to be thin and beautiful. I have interested me for ornamentation, studied the flowers, exploring symbols, squares, dots, stripes, and combined them like patch quilts, to tell you about my approach to beauty and desire.”
