Description

This monograph presents Bente Skjttgaard's experimental work with clay and glaze, spanning nearly 40 years and unfolding a wide range of themes, often inspired by nature. Danish ceramic artist Bente Skjttgaard is particularly known for her glaze work. She balances on the edge of what is possible, and her explorations evolve into large amorphous nature abstractions, generously glazed. With essays by acclaimed experts in the field such as Christine Germain-Donnat and Garth Johnson as well as artist colleague Martin Bodilsen Kaldahl, and an additional 'photo novel' describing the background and process through images and narrative text, this lavishly illustrated volume sheds light on one of the important figures in the rich ceramicist scene in Denmark.
