Bodil Manz
Bodil Manz is one of the most highly regarded ceramicists working in Denmark today and she continues to develop the translucent porcelain cylinders for which she has become well known. She is fascinated endlessly by experimenting with ideas concerning space within decoration. Inspired by modernist architecture and painters such as Mondrian and Malevich, she often uses blocks of primary colour with fine black lines to create a dynamic interplay between the inside and outside of the piece. Recently she has begun to use a more complex profile or elevation and this is taking her work in a new direction.
The compositions are worked out on paper, made into transfers and then applied to the piece, requiring several consecutive firings to achieve the desired effect.
These near paper-thin slip cast porcelain cylinders are so remarkably translucent, you can sometimes even discern the light and shadow passing through both walls of a piece. Manz applies decoration in the form of abstract geometric lines and patterns on both the inside and the outside of the cylinder. The outer and inner decorations become one. There is a wordless interaction between the delicate, precise vessels and the geometrical decoration, regardless of whether it is a delicate line drawing or a strong, large field of color. Only when she deems it ready is it submitted to the final stage: high firing at 1,300 degrees. ¡°That is when I give it out of my hands into the fire, to alter the shape and line of the vessel as it will.¡± Sometimes this alteration is barely perceptible, while at other times the whole form torques into a subtle, liquid undulation or slumps slightly to soften the line. The interior and exterior of the piece simultaneously play off one another and merge to form a complex yet intrinsically subtle whole. This is stunningly evident in every piece that leaves her studio in Denmark.
