Human Embraced-Inspired Sculptures

Kristine Mandsberg Debutes Nine Wall-Mounted Sculptures

— October 17, 2022 — Art & Design
Wall-mounted sculptures produce good ways for promoting some three-dimensionality and interesting textures in one's interior setting. Many artists work in this form, debuting breathtaking works that challenge notions of materiality and form. Recently, textile designer and artist Kristine Mandsberg debuted a range of nine wall-mounted sculptures. These works are featured in the Dezeen x The Mindcraft Project 2022.

The striking collection of wall-mounted sculptures emulates the nature of the human embrace. Kristine Mandsberg titled the range 'Blob' but nested it in a larger creative series called Please Touch which is framed as "an exploration of human physical actions translated into colorful shapes."

The nine wall-mounted sculptures are colorful and pleasant to look at. Each has a slight variation and this creative decision aimed "to convey the sequence of hugging oneself or a loved one."
