In a time of huge unrest, I wanted to explore if a hard metal object could fill an observer with tenderness and inspire to peace. The utmost and longterm, although perhaps pretentious and unachievable, goal is to learn to craft pieces that can soften the shielded hearts of the power holders in the violent country that I live in. It is something that I will have to continue working on.

Bird – reinventing ancestral techniques
The second attempt to make pieces rarely made in the technique obra plana, the creation of a piece of art from a metal sheet using only hammer and anvil, resulted in this bird and my teacher shaking his head saying something like “I don’t know what to think of you, I’m half satisfied and half… just stupefied”. I’m still not sure if he meant it as a good thing. Anyways, it was possible to make a bird, and I hope that you like it.

She’s the only one of her kind, completely handmade and unique. Idea, design and production: Åsa Maria Hermansson.

A word from the buyer:
“Den fina sköldpaddan har hittat sin plats i vårt hus och vi kallar den för ‘önskepaddan’. Man skriver ner det man önskar eller funderar över på en lapp och lägger i skålen under skalet på kvällen så ordnar sköldpaddan så allt är bra på morgonen när man vaknar. Det funkar varje gång. Både jag och min dotter förstod direkt när vi såg den att den var magisk… Min dotter säger att eftersom sköldpaddan bär hela världskartan på sin sköld har den också bra lösningar på varje problem. Den har rest över hela världen och är väldigt klok. Man kan lita på den. Och den reste hela vägen från Colombia för att komma just till oss och bo i vårt hem”.
