"What fascinates me in working with clay is that it is a soft material that becomes petrified after you leave shapes in it with your fingers. Many of the materials I use are substances that go from soft to solid. In the ceramics works I look for a kind of entrance to which the body can relate to. In a way where you would want to stick your hand in it or pick the sculptures up to swing them.
With these actions influenced by the language that describes place and nature, I project the beauty of this language on my work. By meditating on small allusions I use the words as a kind of spell in which I want to take the viewer into the mysterious feel Earth can have and hold them in that feeling for a bit before it fades again."
