Through the fire

Rabe focuses on individual artistic works created using the raku technique in combination with bronze elements. Her artistic language is poetic, her forms archaic, and the range of her black tones seems limitless. Rich in contrast and clear, the fine craquelure cracks on a white background create a counterpoint that balances the harmony. Other works are created using the capsule firing technique.
