Micha Karlslund (born 1963)
Little White Cloud
2005

Micha Karlslund uses glassmaking as a way to make sense of the world. She feels occasional animosity towards a material that demands perfectionism and an exquisite finish. Here, Micha Karlslund approaches glass with both humour and gravity which combine to produce this playful blown opaque form.
