Precise and Elegant Metalwork
by Ane Christensen, UK/Denmark

A refined metalsmith of deserved repute in Europe, Ane Christensen has made a career of interrupting classical forms, in particular the bowl, as a strategy to draw attention to the elegant techniques that are the basis for modernist compositions. The ever-rational underpinning of Ane’s work belie the poetry of the result.
