Capsule IV

Inger Södergren

Inger Södergren´s ceramic sculpture is handbuilt and smoke-fired.  She works with the contrasts between a smooth burnished surface and the texture of grog.  Smoke firing produces subtle variations between the blacks and browns and also leaves unexpected traces:  effects that cannot be obtained any other way.  This series of cut and pleated forms combines a suggestion of the natural world with precision engineering.  All the Capsules are sealed forms, with a white, concave or convex burnished surface.
