Sarah-Linda Forrer's Medusa Vases at SWING Design Gallery
SWING Design Gallery in Benevento reopened after lockdown with an online opening on May 8 for Sarah-Linda Forrer's solo show, running until September. The exhibition presents her Medusa vase collection, hand-built using a spiral technique with various clays. Forrer, born in Carcassonne in 1990 and based in Amsterdam, creates organic, deformed forms that evoke marine creatures and prehistoric relics, playing on the dichotomy between artifact and natural creation. She adds hand-made textured patterns to the surfaces, inspired by natural objects, and achieves varied organic finishes through multiple glaze layers. The tactile dimension invites a primordial connection with nature. The gallery had planned to participate in events like 5Vie Design Week and Edit Napoli (postponed to October), but these were canceled or delayed.
