Early life and education

Hindsgavl graduated from the Ceramics and Glass Department of Design School Kolding in 1999.[4]

Career

Hindsgavl began her work with ceramics by designing dishes. She later began to create contemporary sculpture.[5] Particularly influenced by Rococo, Hindsgavl's sculptures unexpectedly depict startling and controversial subjects in a medium which is more commonly used for decorative folk art.[3][6][7]
