Spill the Milk Sculpture

Gunvor hails from a family of engineers and priests so perhaps it is no surprise she ended up a sculptor. Her first memory of metal was it’s distinct smell visiting her granddad’s workshop on the West Coast of Denmark. Her first meeting with iron as a tool, was when required to plough the fields the old way with horses and a one-furrow plough. Gunvor composes her sculptures using a minimal amount of components which she assembles in a way that suggest a childish or informal creation. Her work is dramatic yet playful. To retain a sense of the human touch – which can be otherwise absent in large scale metal sculpture – Gunvor purposely leaves her maker’s marks in the form of heavy surface texture.
