Skyward

The beauty of letterforms, in all their manifestations, have always held a special fascination for Ingeborg Jürgensen Hiscox, from the mysteries of early mark-making to legible communication. 

They appear often in her work, in clay, prints, collages and paintings. 

In Skyward, Hiscox takes inspiration in the sense of wonder and amazement relating to flight and flying machines. As she explains, “it reflects nature and knowledge, the journey from idea to achievement, in this instance from aerodynamic formulas written on blackboards to airborne machines.”
