Esther Stasse
ceramics
How non-functional does a vase have to be to also exist as visual art? That is the leading question within Esther Stasse's oeuvre. Although she mainly sees herself as an artist, you could also see her work as free design and even design. While working, she investigates how volumes relate to emptiness, a purely sculptural starting point. There is often a rectangular volume that becomes dynamic and spacious by applying horizontal and vertical beams. Without exception, she has been working with black glaze in recent years, so that nothing distracts from the shape.
