Bio:
Pewter has a long tradition in Swedish decorative arts and, in the late 20th century, was frequently used for hand-worked, sculptural forms with deliberately raw and organic finishes. Pieces like this reflect the 1980s interest in tactile materiality and a freer, more artistic approach to functional objects.
