Artist Statement:
Born 1973 in Uppsala, Sweden.
University College of Arts,
Craft and Design, Stockholm
1995-2000.
Master of Fine Arts 2000.
Works as a professional artist
since year 2000.
Her works have been exhibited
in main galleries in Sweden as
well as internationally.
Backa Carin Ivarsdotter
creates artistic environments
in the boundary between dream
and reality. She builds her
work in the same way as a set
designer. The observer steps
into her inner landscape.
These sculptural installations
move, sound, glow and
sometimes disintegrate.
Porcelain and stoneware are
pushed to their outer limits
when it comes to what is
technically possible in size,
form and durability.
“The symbolic signs of dreams
are astonishingly general. A
lot of people recognise their
own dreams when they see my
work.”
Backa Carins work is beautiful
yet at the same time
unpleasant, fragile, strong
and often with a sense of
humour. There lies something
indefinable within. Everything
is not always what it seems to
be.
“My desire is to give the
viewer an impression of life;
the encounter between what is
beautiful and horrible, the
beauty and destructiveness of
love, and the fact that we are
immortal until we die”
