My practice is an exploration of the connection between the body and its immediate surroundings, and how these are in constant dialogue and negotiation with each other. I create sculptural objects and functional ware using traditional ceramic techniques to explore form, sensations and feelings. Clay is the thread that links my work together. 

I find that clay brings back focus to the sensual beings we are. It gives me the possibility for my mind to work through my hands. When I create I connect my imagination with the clay straight from the ground, joining airy ideas with pure materiality. When the body interacts with the clay, it turns sensory impressions into information, connecting this information with considerations about what to do with the clay. 

I make to understand form. I create functional vessels and containers to understand my own container, my body, and the big container that I live within, planet Earth. I create to understand the earth’s universe of diversity and life.

I see myself as an artist in a big ecosystem and the exchange I experience with clay, through collaborations and with other people, is a possibility for something beautiful to be created. I want to show the connections between how cycles of life, cycles of materials and movement, is a premise of life on Earth. 

I want to connect with the materials and space I find myself in, and by that to work with the ecotone - the area where two ecosystems transition into one another - where one ecosystem, the body, transitions into the ecosystem of a landscape and its immediate surroundings. The dialogue between clay and body is the dance between these various abilities to adapt and form.
