Themes

  • Words, phrases, thoughts, desires and associations can trigger an image or object
  • The pieces are strongly influenced by personal experiences, lessons learned from life and inner processes such as emotions, obsessions, fantasies, memories and dreams
  • Inspiration gleaned from everyday and everynight situations and circumstances, and from deep longings

The Ceramics

often come out of floating, dreaming. Like a walk between the worlds, sometimes without a specific goal, sometimes with an overriding need to make a statement. The tactile process exposes the inner workings, explores playful possibilities and impressions, often in combination with other materials.
