As part of MONUMENTS at Audo House during 3daysofdesign, ten artists present existing works that engage with the exhibition’s themes of material presence and emotional depth. In these quick Q&As, we invite each artist to share their thoughts on shaping space, working with material, and what it means to create something quietly monumental.
COSEINCORSO — THE IN-BETWEEN
Founded by Marzia Cerio and Marwann Frikach, COSEINCORSO is a design studio working across objects and scenographies. Drawing on their combined backgrounds in art, heritage and craft, the duo create minimal yet emotive pieces that speak to forgotten landscapes, sacred gestures and the stories objects hold over time. Guided by intuition and research, their work evokes stillness, intimacy and timelessness — quiet forms that resonate and evolve.
BETINA STAMPE — IN STILLNESS, FORM
Danish artist Betina Stampe creates tactile wall sculptures that invite stillness and reflection. After sixteen years in interior design, she turned away from mass production to reconnect with materials and time, letting intuition and her hands lead the way. Her work explores form, texture, and presence, offering a calm counterpoint to life’s noise. Created to be lived with, her sculptures are quiet companions that deepen over time.
FREYJA LEE — HELD IN THE HAND AND THE HEART
From her hillside home studio in North Wales, ceramicist Freyja Lee creates functional slipware with a grounded sense of presence. With a background in drawing and printmaking, her practice has evolved into something slower, tactile and rooted in repetition — quiet vessels shaped by hand and made to be used, lived with and passed on. Guided by rhythm and instinct, her pieces become part of daily life, holding meaning, memory and space for reflection.
KIRSTEN SCHRØDER — IN LIVING COLOUR
Based in Denmark, artist and former colour theory educator Kirsten Schrøder has spent years immersed in the natural world’s shifting palette. Working with pure pigments and earth tones, she builds meditative compositions through slow, layered processes, allowing colour to speak both as matter and meaning. Guided by presence rather than outcome, her work holds quiet balance — offering a felt connection to nature’s rhythms, and to the harmony within.
MORGAN STOKES — WHAT MATTER MAKES
Working from his studio in Sydney, Australia, Morgan Stokes creates quietly insistent works that blur the line between painting and sculpture. Through structure, surface and a deep material sensitivity, he explores how objects hold presence in a digital world where touch is rare. Guided by intuition and discipline, his works favour repetition, weight and rhythm — inviting slow recognition and offering a tactile counterpoint to the immaterial pace of modern life.
STINE REGILD — FRAMING FREEDOM
Copenhagen-based visual artist Stine Regild works with found frames, layered materials and gentle forms to create collages and reliefs that feel calmly resolved. Drawing on her graphic design background, she restores vintage frames and builds compositions slowly, balancing layers until each piece feels whole. Her work invites quiet presence and grows in meaning, becoming a warm, timeless companion over time.
MILENA KLING — THE ALCHEMY OF OBJECTS
Based in Berlin, designer and maker Melina Kling explores the emotional resonance of glass through slow, intuitive processes. Rooted in traditional glassblowing yet shaped by contemporary interpretation, her handcrafted works embrace organic forms and light’s interplay. Each piece invites stillness and connection, becoming a quiet companion that deepens in meaning as it lives with its owner over time.
LUCY PAGE — THE NATURE OF MAKING
Based in Somerset, British sculptor Lucy Page creates work exploring the relationship between body and domestic space. Rooted in traditional craft and a deep respect for process, her practice balances functional object and understated sculpture. Through simplicity, materiality, and layered complexity, her pieces ground us in presence and invite personal connection over time.
ALEXANDER KANGIN & ANNA DRUZHININA — TRACES OF TIME
Touch with Eyes is the collaborative practice of Alexander Kangin and Anna Druzhinina, a nomadic design duo working between sculpture, memory and material. From their car-turned-studio, they create poetic, handmade objects shaped by nature and travel — driftwood, sand, buoys, branches. Rooted in slowness and emotional presence, their work seeks to reveal quiet stories in found forms, inviting connection, reflection and a lasting sense of time.
MARINA MANKARIOS — BETWEEN MEMORY AND LOSS
Paris-based French-Egyptian sculptor Marina Mankarios explores memory, time and loss through fractured forms and hollowed silhouettes. Grounded in classical techniques and art historical references, her practice distorts the familiar to reveal what endures and what fades. Mankarios invites slow looking and shifting perception — her sculptures hold presence and quiet tension, offering spaces for reflection across domestic and institutional settings alike.
