…in her installation, Kerstin Abraham subtly takes up Hedwig Bollhagen’s simple yet timeless ceramic forms and their decor from the 1920s, the early 1930s and the 1970s and translates their colour into warm or cold grey tones – a receptive, historical moment, not least reminiscent of old black-and-white films. The faience top of her tea table was made after her own designs, based on Hedwig Bollhagen’s ceramic painting, by the painter Christa Tourmo working in the HB workshops. In this constellation, Kerstin Abraham made use of the craftsmanship on site. At the same time, she re-composed the proportions of the patterns for individual parts, which are, for instance, painted from the inside, over the edge of the vessel to the outside so that a new ornament is created on the edge.
