symbols and their cross-cultural importance has always been the motivating force in the work of wood sculptor and now glass artist hŒkan blomgvist, especially symbols representing love of life.
the work of graphic-, textile- and glass artist karin westman reflects her feeling of being small, vulnerable, and unsafe in a world that is filled with evil and cruelty. color expresses her joy and a way to find safety in a world that can be so beautiful and at the same time so dangerous.
2. PETER BERGHMAN

 3. ANTOINE VAN LOOCKE
self-taught gardener, sculptor and designer antoine van loocke goes "under the surface" with high performance, high tech cutting knives. the blade is made partly of high speed stellite6K (used in stealth bombers) and the handles of decorated whalebone or meteoric stone.
