Lisa Geue, born in East Germany, is a multidisciplinary artist currently working with clay, creating vessels inspired by her ancient ancestors and organic-looking sculptures with a focus on form and experimental glazing. Her work can be described as a reclamation of female identity in a generation still fighting to bring down walls. She creates in a fragmented and experimental way, constantly pushing the boundaries of the materials she uses.
In 2019, she lived in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia, and later in Wadawurrung Country by the ocean. Natural processes such as mineralization and the decomposition of coastal rocks through saltwater have inspired her glaze recipes. While building an archive of her own glazes, Shino and wood ash glazes have taken on a primary role.
The vessel has been an archetypal symbol throughout human history, representing craftsmanship and spiritual rituals. As it becomes a secondary focus in Lisa Geue’s work, both the 'Vessel' and its archetypal significance, as well as the concept of the 'human vessel,' are explored in her sculptural practice.
