Glassblower
Lisa Hartwig Ericson
Lisa Hartwig Ericson, a glassblower from Konstfack, interpreted tyre recycling through her artistic expression as part of the Art of Recycling concept. The result was a transparent glass sculpture, where Lisa combined glassblowing with the use of steel from recycled tyres. Further down the page, you can watch a video and hear Lisa talk about the creation of the glass sculpture.
Artist
Alexandra Jansson Moreno
Alexandra Jansson Moreno, a trained metalsmith with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Ädellab, Konstfack, has created the sculpture A Knot in Motion using granulate and powder from recycled tyres. The process blurs the line between the organic and the synthetic, challenging the viewer to reflect on what it means to be human in a world where the boundaries between the living and the non-living are constantly shifting.
Artist
Agnes Widbom
The artist Agnes Widbom has used granulate from recycled tyres to create three different artworks: Sun, Division, and Drop. Sun, consists of granulate on limestone paper, where the granulate has been blown out, serving as a metaphor that the use of recycled materials makes the Earth more sustainable. The granulate has then been exposed to the sun, which has caused a shift in light, symbolising the transformation from negative to positive.
