About

My practice has become centered around the materiality of nature and the role of the observer. I’m interested in patterns, rhythms and flows in the material world and to imagine how things and life occur and dissolves in it. I draw inspiration from both old and new observations, ideas, or speculations of the physical world, such as from the pre-Socratic Greek natural philosophers. I like to think about the world and our links and entanglements within it through these from a micro- and macro-perspective. My drawings portray my personal imagined close-up functioning and messy flow of nature while the equipment I produce may allow the users to discover the world as different.


Text written by start.art curators eye about my work: 
Kristina Ludvigson works with a sensitivity and respect of nature that highlights a sense of both calmness and unruliness within the natural world. Ludvigsons range enables her to navigate through deep questions of the physical and metaphorical boundaries of our own experiences and memories, creating an insightful pause and moment of reflection. The merging of literal images of trees and woodland scenes tainted by the darkness of thwarted abstractions of organic shapes and emphasis on shadows furthers this sense of an uncanny nod to nostalgia. With her material choices of digital knit, metal work and drawing, Ludvigson projects her personal connection to the forests depicted and care for materiality, form, and stillness.
