-encounter between two artists

The objective was to let a young  ceramist and designer, and an established paper -cutting artist - both with their roots in ancient Chinese traditiones of craftmannship - reinterpret the classic Chinese turning plate.

Letting contrasts between new and old, east and west work in harmony to produce a new piece of craft-art in Danish design.

Drejefadet er designet af de to fynske kunstnere Sonia Brandes og Jacob Skov specielt til Odenses udstilling på EXPO 2010.

Jacob Skov

Jacob Skov, born in 1971 is one of Denmarks independent ceramists. He designs and devolops funktional products for the home- often with a twist to design and in a Scandinavian design style. He finds his inspiration from everyday items, large and small. For mere details of Jacob Skov's many productions see www.jacobskov.dk

Sonia Brandes

Sonia Brandes, born in 1946, has been working and exhibiting as a paper-cutting artist since 1972. This ancient Chinese tradition was also pursued by Odense's famous son Hans Christian Andersen. Sonia finds her inspiration and motivation in the pastoral surroundings near her home. Her paper-cuttings are not only exhibited in Denmark; museums in France and Japan have also exhibited her works over the years. www.soniabrandes.dk
