Though Nanny Still has worked increasingly in an international context, she has retained her distinctive Finnish qualities. She is noted for her unparalleled sense of beauty, simple and organic sources of inspiration, refined composition, and her perfect adaptation of technical processes to optimize the desired effects. As a testament to her talent, her Harlequin – a “charming liqueur carafe with its round, globular forms” – has become a classic work of Finnish design. This important exhibition presents both her older works in a variety of materials, and her recent sandcast sculptures, many of which were inspired by mythological themes.
