Hanna Salomonsson

Swedish ceramicist Hanna Salomonsson grew up close to the untamed forests of Småland in southern Sweden. Her ceramics are inspired by the world heritage listed, nature based story telling tradition of the Småland region, and her practice probes the way in which our childhood landscapes are imbued with emotions and fleeting memories. Echoes of the gnarly branches, moss covered boulders and bottomless bogs of the southern Swedish woodlands can be distinguished in her pieces, and often these traces are paired with glimmers of urban wilderness found in decaying London surfaces, structures and spaces.
