Artist: Lisa Atterström
Year of creation: 2010
Placement: Slottsbron, Jönköping
Technique and material: Sculpture – painted concrete, granite and marble

Ett skepp kommer lastat (A ship comes loaded), a work of art in several parts by Lisa Atterström, is situated next to Lake Munksjön, near Slottsbron bridge. The work consists of a tall triangular sail formation in white-painted concrete, the shape of which is reflected in the granite ground covering with its wave patterns of marble knobs and benches in red, polished granite. The ground covering and sail create a sense of spatiality into which the viewer can step and sit on the benches, forming a vantage point towards the water, which is thematically linked to the work.

Lisa Atterström is based in Bottnaryd outside Jönköping. She has exhibited art at, among other places, Vandalorum in Värnamo (2012) and the gallery at Grenna Museum (2020).
