During the Covid 19 pandemic Unlimited commissioned Kristina to explore Basketcase in the context of lockdown. Using notions arising from this period of isolation: a reliance on communication through technology, barriers to the outside world, and vast range of associated emotions, behaviours and experiences, Kristina has explored use of new materials like phone charging wires, electric fencing, FRAGILE tape, and materials lying around the house to create new baskets.

Meander
This sculpture offers visitors a place to rest, to observe, to peacefully contemplate, and to immerse themselves in the beauty and detail of the forest.
Vibrancy in the Forest
This sculptural basket is an explosive and joyous celebration of solidarity, resilience and the vibrancy of the people of the Forest of Dean.
If Only Beds Could Fly
Basketcase, the Unlimited R&D commission, in partnership with the Forest of Dean Sculpture Trust, was in full flow when, before lockdown, the artist had a bad accident, meaning she was confined to bed for two months.

Launderette
Commissioned by Quiet Down There, Kristina was one of six artists who have immersed themselves in the world of laundry and the laundrette. The project started from a fascination of the laundrette as a social and creative space and was launched at a time when laundrettes were some of the only high street services operating through lockdown.
