Kosta Boda Ticka
About the Item
As Ellen Ehk Åkesson was asked to create an art object in honor of Ulrica Hydman Vallien's artistry, the magnificent Ticka was born. The object became part of Kosta Boda's 2021 tribute collection to the late Hydman Vallien. Ticka, available in a limited edition of 100 pieces, is a vessel from Ellen’s own imagination based on the same shape as Ulrica’s “Snake Bowl”.
“I wanted to make something of my own, but with a connection to Ulrica’s art. For the tribute collection, I was inspired by the directness of her approach and style. The vessel symbolizes a tree trunk. It’s covered with modeled polypore mushrooms, called ‘Ticka’ in Swedish – hence the name.” – Ellen Ehk Åkesson
Ticka is handmade in Kosta, Sweden, and available in a limited edition of 100 pieces.

Ellen Ehk Åkesson
Ellen Ehk Åkesson has her studio in the former glass factory Pukeberg in Nybro. Here, she uses clay as a medium to connect body and mind, bringing an imagined object into the physical world. She is deeply inspired by her surroundings that feed her mind and eventually define the identity of each of the pieces she works on. They go through layers of color and repetitive firing, getting a unique feel by the constant act of doing and touching the material. Often distant from utilitarian objects, her work can be perceived as fantasies captured in clay.
