OVERLOOK: Finding beauty in the details
An exhibition by Mia at TYBO Art & Craft
A closer look
There are details in our surroundings that we pass by every day without really noticing. The patterns of bricks on an old building, the rhythm of a facade, the small ornamental details that someone once carefully created by hand.
These often overlooked details are the starting point for Overlook, an exhibition by ceramic artist Mia.
Drawing inspiration from historic Danish brick buildings, Mia explores the beauty of traditional craftsmanship and the stories held within the materials that surround us.
Between clay
and brick
At the heart of Mia's work is a fascination with the brick, both as an individual object and as part of a larger structure.
Through her ceramic practice, she has studied the patterns, techniques, and repetitions found in traditional bricklaying. Looking at architecture through the eyes of both a ceramicist and a bricklayer, she explores the meeting point between two crafts that share the same material roots.
The result is a series of illuminated ceramic objects that bring architectural details into a new setting. Removed from the facades where they might otherwise go unnoticed, the patterns become something to pause and look at.
Bringing details
into the light
The title Overlook has a double meaning for Mia. While it refers to the architectural details we often fail to notice, it also connects to the illuminated objects she has created.
Mia sees the pieces as small lighthouses, standing solid and steady in the darkness, casting light on their surroundings.
By combining the familiar structures of traditional brickwork with light, she gives these architectural details a new purpose and encourages us to see them differently.
A familiar
face at TYBO
Mia's connection to TYBO goes back to her time working with us as a ceramicist. Today, she studies Glass and Ceramics at the Royal Danish Academy, continuing to explore materials, techniques, and the possibilities of working with clay.
We are delighted to welcome her back, this time to present her own work in our boutique.
Overlook also marks our very first exhibition at TYBO, something we are especially excited to share with you.
We invite you to join us for the opening on Thursday, November 5, from 4pm to 7pm, where you can meet Mia and discover the works in person. Mia has also created a series of stackable ceramic candleholders, available to purchase in the boutique throughout November.
The exhibition will be on display at TYBO Art & Craft, Sankelmarksgade 2, throughout November 2026.
We hope to see you.
