Frida Fjellman earned her MFA in Glass and Ceramics from Konfstack in
Stockholm, Sweden. In 2003, she was awarded an Honorary Diploma from
the Jutta Cuny- Franz Foundation. She has had several solo exhibitions at
the IngerMolin Gallery, The Agata Gallery, and the Blas&Knada Gallery in
Stockholm and exhibits around the world. Her work is in the collection
of the Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, Rohss Museum of Arts and Crafts, Goteburg
and the Swedish Glass Museum, Vaxjo. Fjellman works with landscapes
and small worlds, in combination with extreme furniture that we usually
connect to our homes, interior design, and symbols of status. She also
integrates animals and objects in glass and ceramics inspired by the Swedish
nature. Figurative glass and ceramics has long suffered from low
esteem in Sweden. She wishes to overstep the unwritten laws and rules
in that field and create warm, strange or suggestive spots in harsh
environments.
