Mother of Pearl
Design Åsa Jungnelius
Åsa Jungnelius ’ Mother of Pearl sculpture has become a classic and is presented in various contexts and scales in her work . Now the Venus shell is available as a smaller object in the Kosta Boda Artist Collection . “ This small sculpture is uniquely shaped in hot glass at the hot shop ,” says Åsa Jungnelius . “ The shell is also about the power of empty space . I love the actual pearl surrounded by the Venus shell – the very essence of glass as a material . The optical effect causes you to see the world upside down , providing access to a fresh perspective .” Mother of Pearl is cast in a graphite mold , in which the color is poured into the scoop . The pattern is created individually by the mold . The crystal-clear pearl is hand-sculpted and the pieces are joined with heat in the hot shop . “ This work is also about my deep love of glass , craftsmanship , glass blowing , history , tradition and the glassworks ,” says Åsa Jungnelius .
