Light and shade, patterning and overlay into
the inside can be the result of the pure form. Experimental
progression of form can be from what was a serving container to the
object being just an end in itself. Heike Jacobsen is fascinated by
the plasticity of the china and the work with jagged, star-shaped
geometric arabesques. Stylization of simple shapes in matt glazing
made from china. The effect of light which breaks as if in prisms. A
permanent repetition of the mystique/meditation, non pictorial art
with continuous arabesque. Obviously following a system, but not
exactly measured, abstract and yet known for centuries.
Heike Jakobsen ran a gallery for modern art in South Denmark for 10 years and since 2000 has devoted herself to her very own ceramic art. She was a mature student at the school for design- and artistic craftspeople in Kolding, where she got her Bachelor degree in crystal glazing on porcelain and two years later, in 1995, she achieved her Master degree at the Institute for Unika with sculptures for a specific space. She has since that time exhibited internationally with much success.
