Moments of Being

Louise Hindsgavl is one of today’s great artists on the ceramic scene, with several awards and exhibitions behind her. She is particularly known for her provocative porcelain figurines, which she has also designed in collaboration with Kähler. This collaboration is showcased in series such as the Stories of Eve, where she uses devices like provocation, doubt and humour to add a modern twist to Kähler’s classic figurine traditions. The result is a piece of modern art and design for the home – an authentic and challenging form of expression with a vibrant enthusiasm.

Now Louise Hindsgavl is once again behind a series of sculptures. This time she has created the women’s figurines Moments of Being, each in the form of three different female figurines that reflect a woman’s life in all its stages – motherhood, womanhood and self-love. Beginnings, Silent Change and Heavenly Grounded have been designed as a manifestation of the many stages of a woman's life, which, according to Louise Hindsgavl, all deserve to be recognised. Moments of Being is therefore also the perfect gift for new mothers, for women who have embarked on a new chapter in their lives, or for women who are just in a good place right now. All three female figurines have different heights and can stand alone as a work of art or be placed together in a still life composition. Shaped in a white-glazed matt faience, they feature a simple and classic design, where the curved shapes define each individual woman’s figure.

Because the figurines in the Moments of Being series each define a stage in a woman’s life, they obviously celebrate all moments – from the challenging to the happy moments, from the agreeable to the disagreeable, as well as the moments of change. Whatever the stage, the sculptures each symbolise important moments in a woman’s life. Moments that perhaps deserve a little attention? A little recognition? A little celebration? Moments of Being is a tribute to the woman’s many roles – as a mother, wife, girlfriend, boss or a tribute to finding peace in just being herself.
