• Lukas Göthman is a Stockholm-based artist whose oeuvre focuses on travel, both self-experienced and those built up of fiction and dreams. "The monsters have followed the work over the years. Sometimes as metaphors and figuratives in the story I'm working on. Originally in text form, in recent years as wooden sculptures or clay figures. Model clay during the breaks when painting. A little careless and hasty with my bare hands. It fits well, they are such monsters, careless and not so scary, often sad. Quite loving. Depressed monsters. The collaboration with Skultuna has many good reasons besides Skultuna's willingness to cast my clay figures."

Maker's Story
Skutuna
Skutuna, Sweden
Founded in 1607
King Karl IX of Sweden founded Skultuna in 1607 as a brass foundry in the village of Skultuna.  Sweden had become indebted to the Hanseatic League, and refining copper into brass would reduce imports of brass and increase income from exports. The town of Skultuna was chosen for its waterpower and natural resources, and 400+ years later the brass pieces are made in the same location.  Skultuna continues to supply the Royal Court of Sweden and collaborates with leading international designers to create award-winning, timeless designs that are intended to be passed down for generations.
