ceramic sculptures
My sculptural pieces are hand made by me, coil built, organically shaped and unique in their own imperfect way. I love basic and timeless design, so that’s what you may expect from my work.
Less is more… However, I do like to make a statement from time to time. For me, the beauty in design is not only minimalistic and pure. But in a subtle way bold too.
That means my pieces have earthy tones and are left unglazed. Not only because glaze is often toxic, but because leaving the surface raw allows the balanced compositions to feel intriguing, letting the material speak through its visible little imperfections. It is the purity and the texture of the clay itself that I love so much, together with the environmentally friendly advantage that my work only needs to be fired once.
a loving reminder
I work intuitively. I just start. Without a plan or drawing. However, every shape I make is exactly how I like it. Perfectly imperfect, inspired by the Japanese philosophy wabi-sabi and by my mother. My independent courageous mother who not only taught me to appreciate the beauty in life. But also showed me how to keep life beautiful.
I love the idea that my pieces are loving reminders in people’s homes to take good care of themselves. To remind them to always take control in life, bravely relying on their intuition. Just like my mother always did. Just like I try to do every single day.
whispering: don't forget yourself in the middle of it all...
