Using simple shapes, organic forms, and common-place materials such as clay, earth, concrete I try to evoke real emotions and associations with our own bodies and processes, which concern everything which is material. The fact that the things destroyed, degraded, in ruins and mere seconds away from complete disintegration have always been immensely fascinating to me does not came from a pessimistic point of view. It is rather a belief that after destruction and disappearance, all things will begin anew, giving hope for a renewed process of life’s rebirth...
It seems to me that I have stopped thinking in the categories of creation of artefacts – rather, those are side products of a certain process, resulting from reflections and attempts at materialising a transformation which I experience during work on a certain problem.
