Caroline Harrius - Minnen av ett hem II - Tapetplatta

Artist: Caroline Harrius

Caroline Harrius’s ceramic practice engages with questions of gender hierarchies in craft history and how these structures shape the perception of her work in a contemporary context. She investigates how different crafts are valued depending on which groups have historically been associated with them, using her own making as a site for critical reflection.

Decorative techniques connected to the domestic space are central to her practice. By combining these methods with contemporary ceramic forms, Harrius reevaluates traditions often overlooked or diminished, positioning them as vital components in a broader artistic language. Her works invite a reconsideration of craft, value and the cultural narratives embedded in materials and techniques.

Caroline Harrius (b. 1993 in Linköping, Sweden) is a ceramicist based in Stockholm. She holds a BA in Medium and Material Based Art from Oslo National Academy of the Arts and an MA in Craft from Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design. She works from her studio at G-studion, located in the former porcelain factory in Gustavsberg.
