emerging artist: Trine Birgette Bond

Trine is a danish ceramist, who works with glaze experiments. She says; “When i
walk in nature i find inspiration; moss on rocks, sea and snowflake, old
paint in many layer, rust and so on. I try too transfer my impression
from nature, too my work.”

Want to be featured as an emerging artist on musing? All you have to do is send me some images, a brief write up if you’d like, and a website if you have it to [email protected] If you could put emerging artist in the subject header of the email so it doesn’t get lost in my spam folder that would be great. Thanks!
