JÓLAKÖTTURINN designed for Rammagerðin 2022
The Yule Cat, known as Jólakötturinn, a huge and vicious cat who is described as lurking about the snowy countryside during Christmas time and eating people who have not received any new clothes to wear before Christmas Eve.
The Christmas cat is inspired by the famous phrase “you are what you eat”. They are all hand-turned on a lathe and each one has its own unique shape inspired by characters I imagined that the cat had eaten. When I was making them I listened a lot to random playlists on Spotify and became influenced by singers as Jonny Cash, Ginger Spice and Beyoncé to name a few.
