Ingrid Unsöld creates ceramic objects with a range from abstract art to utility goods by exploring the depicted space. She thematically navigates between the set table and death, where she is interested in what makes a traditional utility object relevant in contemporary times. Tove Knuts plays with the hierarchies of materials, whether it be traditional woodwork meeting contemporary jewelry art, garbage turning into haute couture necklaces, or jewelry created with the low-status technique of crocheting.

In the exhibition, jewelry artist Tove Knuts and ceramicist Ingrid Unsöld showcase wall-mounted plates where the hanging mechanism becomes part of the artwork. The plates reference traditional utilitarian objects with practical hanging methods, such as old trays with handwoven straps or tools on a tool wall. The duo has focused on utilitarian objects but gradually questioned their function, instead contemplating what distinguishes art from functional objects. Warm welcome, Tove & Ingrid
