Engholm graduated from Designskolen Kolding in 2006. Clay is her preferred material and she works with stoneware, earthenware and porcelain. She is particularly preoccupied with the combination of form and function, without necessarily making function her central theme. Her work often originates in a particular technique. Similarly, she obtains inspiration from the contrast and tension arising between stringent geometry and soft organic shapes. Using form and ornamentation she tries to distance her expression from mass-production. Lea-Mi Engholm’s works have been exhibited at numerous places including Galleri Nørby, the Museum of International Ceramic Art at Grimmerhus. In 2007 they will be featured at the Art and Design Biennial in Kolding.
