About

My work focuses on objects related to the body. I often look inside the body -to the inner world- where I encounter kind of "creatures" that find their way out through my hands. These creatures deal with perspectives, values and processing. They are a part of my inner world, a part of my impressions, memories and the stimuli that come across my way. My preferred materials are clay, felt and yarn.

Beings from my familiar inner world

To understand the inner world you need to search for the conscious and unconscious parts. The boundaries between these two spheres are not clearly defined; there is a permeable transition that constantly blurs and flows into one another. They are in constant exchange, a metabolism. By examining these processes of processing and transformation, objects emerged. They are beings that filter, transform, and convey. They want nothing more than to absorb, to surrender to what is fed to them, to process it, and to spit it out again in a different form. They want to metabolize.
