Kystkvinner (2010)

What do you feel when you look at these sculptures? Longing, strength – or perhaps a silent conversation between them? Coastal Women by Ingun Dahlin was created in 2010 and is one of the most photographed and visited artworks in the Art Park. The figures, formed in rustic stoneware clay, express something timeless – a blend of wonder, care, and closeness. Dahlin, who studied at the National College of Art and Design in Oslo, says: “All art is about creating life – for me, it’s about trying to bring life out of clay.” And maybe that’s exactly what happens here. As you stand before these women, an invisible communication begins – a connection between the sculpture and the viewer. In 2017, the piece was illuminated, making it accessible even during the dark winter months. It also marked a new chapter in the development of the Art Park. Perhaps it’s this very light that continues to draw people here – to see, reflect, and maybe even find their own reflection in these women?
