Marianne Nielsen is the recepient of an award from the Danish Arts Foundation for her solo exhibition Leaf, stem, twig:
“Marianne Nielsen has created a series of delicate works that quietly tell a grand ceramic story. With titles such as Leaf Crown, Elder, and Oak, she frames her leaf-shaped pieces with understated confidence. The sculptures are captivating; rich in detail and able to portray the fragility and lightness of individual leaves through the hard medium of ceramics... Nielsen’s ability to highlight the mundane through her craftsmanship creates connections across time, encouraging gentle reflection and perhaps a little bit of extra care.” - The Danish Arts Foundation
