Product Information

As Ellen Ehk Åkesson was asked to create an art object in honor of Ulrica Hydman Vallien's artistry, the magnificent Ticka was born. The object became part of Kosta Boda's 2021 tribute collection to the late Hydman Vallien. Ticka, available in a limited edition of 100 pieces, is a vessel from Ellen’s own imagination based on the same shape as Ulrica’s “Snake Bowl”.

“I wanted to make something of my own, but with a connection to Ulrica’s art. For the tribute collection, I was inspired by the directness of her approach and style. The vessel symbolizes a tree trunk. It’s covered with modeled polypore mushrooms, called ‘Ticka’ in Swedish – hence the name.” – Ellen Ehk Åkesson

Ticka is handmade in Kosta, Sweden, and available in a limited edition of 100 pieces.

With Roots in Nature

Ellen Ehk Åkesson

Concepts such as searching for one’s roots and digging where you stand may seem like cliches, but they are deeply relevant when it comes to describing the artistic work of Ellen Ehk Åkesson. Ellen (born in 1976) is from the heart of the Kingdom of Crystal in Sweden, where she still lives today. “If I had grown up in the city or by the sea, my art would have been entirely different,” says Ellen. “The forest was my life stage. I never felt like I was visiting the forest. I was a part of it, and I always felt safe there, even in the dark. It was the same forest that my mother and her father played in, which added depth to the context.”
