Pia-Maria Raeder’s Sea Anemone series catapulted her to international acclaim and is a testament to both her craftsmanship and unique artistic process. Each sculpture is meticulously created from thousands of beechwood rods, which are sanded, arranged at varying heights, and then lacquered. The result evokes the wavy shadows of the ocean floor. The Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris has acquired pieces from the series for its permanent collection.
