Medal Art

MEDAL ART


Inger Margrethe Larsen designs medals for wall decoration: medals which by their shape and size twist and simplify the medal concept with a strong sense of humor and colour. The medals are based on different themes which with their symbols tell about matters that we touch upon all the way through life. The medals thereby become a kind of decoration for appraisal of the facets of life. The material of the medals consists mainly of plastic, deliberately chosen to avoid the traditional ranking of medals in gold, silver and bronze.


Themes:

Medal for House and home • Medal for a Tribute to life • Medal for a Sense of humour •

Medal for Knowledge and learning • Medal for Gastronomy • Medal for Nature •

Medal for Travelling • Medal for Courage and strength • Medal for Good health •

Medal for Joy • Medal for Love • Medal for Everyday heroes
