Venus Clam

“The clam is an extension of my sculptural work, in which I explore hollow spaces and femininity. I was inspired by Sandro Botticelli’s iconic painting, the Birth of Venus, in which the goddess emerges from the sea on a clam shell. In recent years, I’ve tried to find a goddess of love to identify with when love causes pain and when it requires armor for protection. Only the clamshell was left. I enjoy using elements from my sculptures that add functionality and are easy to relate to, like these dishes. I think they reflect my artistry here and now.” – Åsa Jungnelius

Artist Inspired by Feminism

Åsa Jungnelius

Åsa Jungnelius (born in 1975) lives and works in Stockholm and in Månsamåla, Sweden, where she previously shared the glassworks with the celebrated Kosta Boda artist Ulrica Hydman Vallien, her mentor and a great source of inspiration. In 2004, the artist had her first major success with her degree project created for one of Sweden's most prestigious art and design universities, called “I like your hairstyle!” In the installation, she created a surrealist shopping scene with objects that spark desire.
