Maja Michaelsdotter is a textile artist who works within the sculptural eld.
Her pieces are colourful and often portray everyday objects. A cat, an egg, a placenta. Through the work she bring up themes from ordinary life, but by playing with scale and setting the objects present a contrasting layer of meaning and an often comical or absurd aspect of the world. Michaelsdotter seeks to portray a striking fascination for everything living, our biological bodies and organs of flesh and blood as well as underlying themes of the mind. Her pieces often relate to topics viewed as heavy or problematic, which in my work is shown with an honesty that ultimately celebrates the force of life.
