Danish ceramic artist Michael Geertsen produces work which explores the relationship between ceramics and sculpture. His assembled forms, many of which are made to be hung on walls, are composed of simple geometrical shapes, glazed in strong, single colours. As such, the works are highly abstract in nature, yet also recall the more familiar sight of stacks of domestic crockery.
