Merete Rasmussen
Overview
Merete Rasmussen works with abstract sculptural form. She is interested in the way one defines and comprehends space through physical form. Her 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 the artist and results in her 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. Merete is intrigued by the idea of a continuous surface, for example with one connected edge running through an entire form.
Merete works 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.
She mainly works in ceramics and metal and finds that strong colour builds further importance, strength and energy.
Merete is Danish and has lived in the UK since 2005. The artist trained at Designskolen Kolding, Denmark from 2000-2005 (MA Ceramics).
