'Sun Sign' from the Glasskibe Collection is a unique glass and oak sculpture by the Danish and British artists, Backhaus & Brown and Egeværk.

The title explained by the artists:

"In the Bronze Age, sun worship is central: On rock carvings, among other things, a beautiful cosmic myth is told about the Sun’s daily journey across the sky, and nightly tour down into the underworld. There are ideas that both ships and horses facilitate this journey. Spiral ornaments from the period can also be interpreted as sun signs."

The Danish town of Hundested is steeped in maritime history and richly from the Viking Age. It is the majestic imagery of the Viking ships passing that has inspired two of the harbour’s contemporary craft companies; cabinetmakers Egeværk and glass artists Backhaus & Brown. These two award-winning workshops have combined their masterful crafts in an innovative collaboration; namely a series of sculptures named "Glasskibe" – Viking ships in handblown glass and carved oak.

The artists can also create pieces to commission, please contact the gallery for further information.
