Bente Brekke

I’m a glass artist living on an island in Norway with a MA in Glass and Ceramics from Sunderland, UK. Working with several glass techniques within kilnformed glass and flame work.

My work often reflect the relationship between humans and nature. Our strong and deep connection, but also the lack of it. I am interested in this ambivalent relationship.
“I grew up, left and was away for many years. Then I rediscovered the smell of seaweed and moved back to the sea.” Bente Brekke
