The works Sky I, Sky II and Sky III by the danish designer Astrid Krogh, derive their inspiration from the changing color spectrum of the sky. The weavings may appear as almost monochrome color screens but with their gentle shift in color spectrum, they mimic the subtle changes of the sky throughout the day. Sky evolves in a slow and meditative pace from the light of early dawn towards the glowing sunlight, passing through orange sunset notes towards the blue hours of the evening. With the Sky pieces, Astrid Krogh translates natural phenomenon into emotional perception, captivating those subtle moments where a cloud slowly passes in front of the sun, changing not only the light atmosphere in the room but also the mood of the beholder. The piece can be displayed in the middle of a space, creating an immaterial wall of light.

Astrid Krogh embraces traditional craft techniques while using high tech materials. She hand weaves lengths of optic strands on a loom to make iridescent tapestries that illuminate into a rainbow of brilliant colors. The fibers in the tapestries are connected to monitors that regulate the color palette, and slowly and hypnotically move the color throughout the piece. In this way, Astrid succeeds in giving light a rare soft and tactile quality, proposing a highly original and poetic vocabulary in the field of light installations, based on contemplative perception and sensual color experience.

Astrid Krogh is widely considered as one of the most pioneering designers in the field of optic fiber installations, starting by the end of the 1990s with monumental light weavings for important museum exhibitions and site-specific commissions such as the Maersk building, the Danish Parliament and the 21 C Museum in Cincinnati. In 2006, 2009 and 2011 she received the Danish Art Foundation Prize. She won the Thorvald Bindesboell Medal in 2008 and received the Inga & Ejvind Kold Christensen Prize in 2013.
