The interplay between body and emotional life is central to Kristina’s creation. For the exhibition at Kulturcentrum Ronneby konsthall, she has particularly drawn inspiration from children’s way of expressing emotions with their whole bodies. In play, things come to life and are allowed to reflect feelings, fantasies and experiences. Objects become carriers of stories and memories for people of all ages. They can keep us company, arouse a desire for care or become intrusive.
Kristina Skantze is educated at i.a. The University of Design and Crafts, Gothenburg and Konstfack. She lives and works in Stockholm and has exhibited around Sweden and internationally since 2011.
