Laugesen’s fragmented animal abstracts create a statement housed in both an ancient and contemporary context. She has successfully taken on the ambitious task to capture and translate the delicate beauty of the raku-fired ceramics into monumental forms.
“The intention of my work is to capture the essence of spirit, movement, and timeless story in the sculptural forms I create. The Horse, as form and function, is a reoccurring theme in my mixed media sculptures and large-scale commissioned public artworks. Often the sculptures appear broken or weathered like objects of antiquity. Smaller works are ceramic and the unique colors are achieved through the unpredictable nature of the Raku reduction firing process. For me, the Raku technique brings the artworks to life.”

“The horse is a magnificent creature, historic icon and my longtime muse. To unearth the form of the horse within clay is to recognize the enduring nature of this powerful, beautiful animal and its importance in the history of our civilization. This process of discovering the essence of a horse within the “mud” and transforming this into contemporary ceramic artworks remains my great joy and artistic passion.”
