Stay alive 

"The speciality of my work is to stay alive inside". Expression needs movement and attentiveness. Dagmar Langer uses observations of inner stirrings as central themes for her figurative sculptures and raku objects. While the traces of fire lend her raku objects - mostly free unique vessels - a dynamic surface, Langer's expressive figures tell of bodily movement in dance, of pleasure and joie de vivre, community and being alone.
