Artist's statement
In my practice I focus on repetition, material and emotion. I get inspired by contrasting feelings that I can’t place. I think a lot of emotions don’t show up individually, they come up together intertwined. It almost feels alive. Multiple emotions contrasting each other resulting in a mixture of safety and unsafety. I try to find safety and peace and reflect that struggle. I want to explore these emotions more deeply and identify the core elements that create the contrasting feelings.

By enhancing these elements in my choice of material, I create sculptures and installations that convey the mixed feeling of comfort and sadness to my audience. Material and handwork are essential to my practice. Every material carries its own life and
personality, with different qualities and natural shapes that are similar to the unique characters of people.

By combining handwork and the characteristics of the material, I believe there is a transformation happening resulting in a new object that is neither mine nor the materials. This transformation allows the viewer to experience the object and relate to it with their own body and personal memories.
