Kosta Boda Brains Scupltures
Kosta Boda Brains

Very expressive objects to relax the hand and eye, for the writing desk, to give to an art loving friend. Brains by Bertil Vallien were inspired by the story about Karolina Olsson who, on a winter day in 1876 on her way home from Öland to the mainland, fell and hit her head on the ice. She awoke the next morning and then fell unconscious again and didn´t wake up until 1908. By then her mother was gone, two brothers had drowned, and Sweden was separated from Norway. Karolina just remembered darkness and blue men. Brains is how Bertil Vallien imagines what Karolina saw. Bertil Vallien designs a new head every year.
