One-of-a-kind functional assemblage art
Kirsti Smith · Kristiansand, NorwayCandleholders, vases and table pieces assembled from found objects, porcelain, ceramics and glass.
I make individual assemblages from objects that have already lived other lives. Shape, colour and unexpected associations guide each composition. Familiar fragments become candleholders, vases and table pieces that invite a closer look.
Made by Kirsti Smith in Kristiansand, Norway. Playful, curious and deliberately one of a kind.
