The jury's citation

The jury has been inspired by the way she uses the contradictory forms of a space, and how she unites form and room with rhythm and harmony. Her use of the simple materials is technically advanced, but with distinct references to the craft.

Camilla Løw comments on a branch of the radical modernism in an honest and respectful manner, but still produces personal and playful results. She approaches a long-standing tradition with great ease and creates her own platform, from where she can make a fresh start and find new approaches to a well-known art form.
