Work of the artist:
Minimalist and expressive objects. They are inspired by organic forms and colors, undulating shapes, and geology. Turi Heisselberg Pedersen describes her works as follows: “In the interplay between culture and nature, my recent work is inspired by geological structures and crystal formations, but also by architecture, the edged rendering of a computer drawing, or folded paper shapes.” Her pieces are hand-modeled from stone and then glazed, which gives them a textured, rough, and distinct appearance. Pedersen adds: “Some of my works have expressive surfaces, with relief or fluted structures but most of them are simply just trying to express the inherent character and textual freshness of the clay.” (text iGNANT)
