Tone Linghult was born in 1993 and grew up in Norrköping. She started studying art while still at school, with a particular interest in life drawing and modelling from a live model. While still at school she was captivated by the possibility of creating bodily forms using fine metal mesh which she lit in order to create shadow play. While attending vocational college she started experimenting with glass and ceramic furnaces. In the ceramics and glass department at Konstfack Tone fell in love with molten glass, and she developed her own mode of expression by combining mesh sculptures with blown glass. With an interest in psychology and how emotions express themselves she investigates relations between people and how we influence and are influenced by our surroundings. After gaining her BA at Konstfack in 2019 Tone Linghult has continued to live and work in Stockholm.
