Waldeinsamkeit : Malene Hartmann Rasmussen

2 Apr-19 Jun 2016

Aspex Portsmouth
Portsmouth PO1 3BF

Overview

Malene merges applied art, design and fine art to create ceramic sculpture, installation and furniture designs, incorporating digitally printed fabrics and wallpaper based upon photographic interpretations of hand-modelled ceramics. Utilising traditional craft skills, technology, tactility and texture to achieve a trompe l’oeil effect in a collection of multi-dimensional works, Malene has created a stunning, absorbing and uncanny experience. Craft Emergency is Aspex’s open submission competition for contemporary designers and makers and has attracted a great deal of interest from artists in the UK and abroad. The inaugural Craft Emergency in 2013 was won by letter carver and stone mason Thomas Appleton. A preview will be held on 1 April, 6 - 8pm.
