My work examines the question of how we are all connected, in particular connections that are mutually dependent. I am fascinated by the common ground of a coexistence of two opposing forces or qualities.

I question the interweaving between the familiar and the seemingly foreign, which results in ceramic sculptures as an interplay between form, texture and color.

I am inspired by the amazing world of seeds, bacteria and biomorphic stages that are constantly evolving and fascinated by their natural, intelligent communication. Like in their world, I seek a kind of origin on unknown territory where individuals undergo profound transformations and cross physical and psychological boundaries. I approach this juxtaposition by emphasizing growth and decay, order and chaos.

My objects often appear cluster-like, in pairs or similar to a cell division. I want my objects to look like they could have lived or grown somewhere. This effect is achieved by exposing layers of color and giving them a biomorphic texture. I mix my own glaze to create a unique volcanic, lichen or metallic shiny surface, that imitates a narrative alien organic surface.
