Ane Christensen Double Crumbling Bowl

This black copper bowl is part of Ane Christensen’s series ‘Crumbling’. This series explores the contrast between solid form and the area of delicate transparency within it. The repetitive spread of the surface punctures creates a playful dispersion of weight, giving each bowl a playful tilt. All of the works in the ‘Crumbling’ collection are hand pierced by Christensen.

Ane Christensen grew up in Copenhagen and moved to London in 1993 to study a HND (Jewellery Design) at Sir John Cass Faculty of Art. She went on to work as an assistant for two designer silversmiths and completed her MA (Metalwork & Silversmithing) at the Royal College of Art, before establishing her practise in 1999. Her work is represented in several major museum collections including Victoria and Albert Museum, The Crafts Council UK, Koldinghus Museum DK, Museum for Decorative Art DK and the Goldsmiths’ Company.
