Merete Rasmussen works mainly in stoneware and hand builds her pieces using the coiling technique. She enjoys the challenging nature of both the material she works in and the complex structures she builds, which despite their apparent fragility and complicated contours, must hold their own shape. Talking about the wider interests in her work, Rasmussen says:
"I am interested in the way one defines and comprehends space through physical form. My shapes can represent an idea of a captured movement, as a flowing form stretching or curling around itself, or the idea can derive from repeated natural forms or even complex mathematical constructions. Different form expressions appeal to me and results in my continuous exploration with many different variations: soft but precise curves, sharp edges, concave surfaces shifting to convex; the discovery and strength of an inner or negative space. I am intrigued by the idea of a continuous surface, for example with one connected edge running through an entire form."
