Lise Damsager mostly works in ceramics, concrete and wood. She shapes her works in an interaction with the clay, where her mind runs free, and new ideas keep emerging. Lise Damsager is also inspired by architecture and shapes in the street scene. Her works often have a sculptural and rustic, yet also minimalist and aesthetic expression. Damsager views her products as a discreet background, a stage or a podium for the flowers, food or fruit to be arranged on them.
