Lena Bergström explores the traditional technique of cutting, giving it a new contemporary dimension. The outer surface of the piece has been all over cut in a stretched honey-comb pattern, with a so called 'olive' cutting wheel. The cut surface has been treated with acid to create a matte finish. This outer surface is reflected in the smooth upper (inside) surface of the object.
