In this work Salicath was interested in the four elements, which were
presented emblematic in the myth about the Kings four sons in the Swedish
Gefion. Especially the element of water was accentuated, recalled in the
glass base of the sculptures in reduced size – and especially by the music
of Bob Rickett Blue Water. Karen Salicath regards this element, water, as a
symbol of emotions and love.
Simultaneously with her gallery work, Salicath has produced works for the
public audience. The delicate, feminine lines, sometimes monumental, are
opposed to the stiffness of the materials. The appearance of the bodies or
rather their positions – both graceful and powerful – create a simple and
minimalistic expression- and emotional task. More often than not the figures
represent or pass on a visible and catching feeling to the viewer.
