AROUND DANISH CLAY
Bodil Manz DK
EXHIBITION 5 February – 20 March 2021
Exhibition of new pieces in earthenware - experimental project by Bodil Manz.
Bodil Manz belongs to the international elite of ceramic artists represented in major museums and private collections worldwide.
Her work is characterized by a continual exploration and experimental activity, that among many other projects have resulted in wall installations, sand-cast porcelain pieces and architectural sculptures.
Bodil Manz has for this exhibition worked with round forms and earthenware that is found in Denmark, and water polished bricks from the beach.
The exhibition is a tribute to the raw and simple values of nature.
All pieces are the same order as the exhibition list - Please email the Gallery
RUNDT OM LERTØJ - Danish text by Bodil Manz.
Efter i årtier at have arbejdet med stentøj og porcelæn af importeret let og råstoffer fra hele verden, har det føltes befriende og interessant for en periode at arbejde med ler hentet fra den nærliggende strand, slemme det for sten og rødder, dreje det op og finde ud af dets plasticitet og egenskaber.
Noget ler er magert, noget mere fedt, men det kan blandes til et godt dreje-og formbart ler.
At arbejde med rødler, blåler og blandinger af disse, foruden begitninger og brænde det lavt ved 1050 grader, føles lidt som at gå tilbage til mit udgangspunkt.
LERBROKKER - foto og fotostat på udstillingen
Er fundet på Røsnæs nordvendte kyst, fra et nedlagt teglværk.
De repræsenterer nærmest hele registret af dansk ler: Rødler og blåler og blandinger af disse. Højtbrændt og lavtbrændt med og uden reduktion.
Mange af brokkerne har ligget og skvulpet i vand i årtier og er utroligt smukke.
