My practice is situated at the intersection of textile and ceramics. I am interested in the interplay between craft and technology; the complex and often ambiguous relationship between handmade and machine-made results. Textile and clay are the main materials I am using in my sculptures and installations. Since a few years I developed an intimate relationship with clay. My work is characterized by a sensitive, intuitive and process driven approach to materials.
I am continuously navigating between what I term as hardware (ceramic) and software (textile).These days, the support structure of my artistic practice (crates and packing) has become the key subject matter of recent projects, revealing the attitude of care in technical work.
