Preschool of Himlabackarna
Generational Crown
The piece was commissioned by the Vetlanda Art Museum in 2021 for the new Himlabackarnas Förskola
The sculpture was installed in October 2021 next to the entrance of the Preschool. The enlarged Cladonia lichen embody a stretch and growth upwards, reflecting upon the fragility of generational shifts. The bright Cladonia lichen trumpets are contrasted by the dark bricks of the facade and the golden cups resonate with the architecture.
An earlier version of this sculpture was shown in Norrtälje river under the title Degenerational Crown.
