Swedish Mobiles and Kinetic Sculptures

‘Slow Movement in Pink' is a unique glass sculpture by the Danish artist, Maria Bang Espersen.

Her chosen candy confectionery colour palette entices and draws the onlooker towards the artwork, which deliciously glisten. Espersen studied glass and ceramics at Engelsholm Højskole, in Denmark, continuing her studies at the Kosta School of Glass in Sweden, The Royal Danish Academy of Design, and Haystack Mountain...
