Merete Rasmussen has created an alluring red surface that twists and flows, shifting between curves and sharp edges, through the convex and concave. The elegant sculpture creates wonderful shapes through the form itself as well as its negative space.

Rasmussen works mainly in stoneware however experimenting in bronze has allowed her to add another dimension to her work, going beyond the constraints of her kiln and exploring scale. Working in bronze has also enabled Rasmussen to consider a material that can be shown outdoors.
Rasmussen enjoys the challenging nature of all the material she works in and the complex structures she builds, despite their apparent fragility and complicated contours, must hold their own shape.

I work with abstract sculptural form. I am interested in the way one defines and comprehends space through physical form. My shapes can represent an idea of a captured movement, as a flowing form stretching or curling around itself, or the idea can derive from repeated natural forms or even complex mathematical constructions. Different form expressions appeal to me and results in my continuous exploration with many different variations: soft but precise curves, sharp edges, concave surfaces shifting to convex; the discovery and strength of an inner or negative space. I am intrigued by the idea of a continuous surface, for example with one connected edge running through an entire form.
I work with the idea of a composition in three dimensions, seeking balance and harmony. The finished form should have energy, enthusiasm, and a sense of purpose.
I mainly work in ceramics and metal. I find that strong colour builds further importance, strength and energy.
I am Danish and have lived in the UK since 2005. After 12 years in London I moved to the beautiful countryside in East Sussex where I have had my new studio built. I trained at Designskolen Kolding, Denmark from 2000-2005 (MA Ceramics).
