Merete Rasmussen
Ceramics, London
Merete Rasmussen was born in Denmark, but grew up in Sweden. Since moving to London in 2005 she has concentrated on creating sculptural forms from stoneware using a hand-built coiling technique. ‘I’m interested in the idea of one continuous surface, with one connected edge or line running through the whole form. Clear, clean shapes; soft smooth curves in contrast to sharp edges; concave and convex surfaces; the discovery and strength of an inner/negative space - these are all form expressions that appeal to me’.
Merete’s work is in public and private collections in the UK, US and Europe. In 2010 she had solo exhibitions at the Scottish Gallery in Edinburgh and at Puls Gallerie in Brussels; and she was represented by the Scottish Gallery at Collect 2010.
