Quote from kunstbanken.no
Stramrud’s human-sized ceramic sculptures are known for challenging both the limits of craftsmanship and the laws of physics. Glazed in strong colors with a moody and almost naïve expression, she borrows motifs from, among other things, pop art’s multi-coloured prints, while her objects for the kitchen and bathroom point towards a feminist tradition with a focus on objects of use in the intimate sphere. With a background in photography, part of the expression she worked with photographically has been continued in the ceramic material where a dialogue occurs between surface and depth, between two and three dimensions, between image and object of use.
