FANTASTIC FIGURES

2021

Public Art
Artist: Maria Bajt, Co-worker: Martin Kallin
Location: Hjärtebacke preschool, Näsby, Kristianstad, Sweden
Client: Kristianstad municipality
Materials: Water- laser cut stainless steel in two layers, wet painted sheet metal, artist book.

My goal is to create a dynamic and cohesive environment, at Hjärtebacke pre-school,  through the use of artwork and a vibrant color scheme that emanates light and energy. The art draws inspiration from the concept of play and collaboration, influenced by the Surrealist drawing game ”Exquisite Corpse.” Comprising sculptures, a facade relief, and an artist's book, the installation incorporates elements of nature and wildlife from the Skåne region. Overall, the art aims to foster creativity, language exploration, and an early appreciation for nature among both children and adults.
