Swanica Ligtenberg

Swanica finds a spiritual connection with Mother Earth and meaning of life, and wants to contribute to the restoration, balance and harmony of our earth through the creation of ceramic art. The direct contact with the clay and the corresponding sense of freedom and streaming of energy during the definition and creation of the form are essential parts of her work.

She is mostly known for her Horsehair Raku works. You take out a bisque piece at 600 Celsius and put on Horsehair what burns in to the work as well as ferric chloride which gives the orange-brown color.

Lately, she rediscovered her love for the colored slips and engraving.

Her artworks express the elegance and harmony of nature through play with form, the abstract de- signs, the interplay between the line and form, and the colorful surface.

Enjoy her works.

Swanica 在大地與人生意義之間找到精神上的連結，並想要透過陶藝創作為地球的復育、平衡、和 諧盡一份力。在塑形的過程中能夠與陶土直接接觸並感受到自由與能量的流動是他創作中不可或 缺的一部份。

她最著名的就是馬毛樂燒的作品。在攝氏 600 度將坯體取出後放上馬毛，使之燒入作品中，同時 加入氯化鐵賦予其橘褐色調。

最近，他則重新找到對彩色化妝土與雕花的愛。

她的作品透過外形、抽象設計、線與型之間的交互作用、表面的色彩等巧妙變化來表達大自然中 的優雅與和諧。

歡迎欣賞她的作品。
