ARTIST STATEMENT
Experiencing the joy of a successful blend of harmony and tension is my main objective in the art studio.
I love the sensuality of a sculpture, running my hand over a smoothly polished curve is a simple act and yet a great joy. It's a body you can not only look at, but also explore with your hands.
I love the uniqueness of a work of art in three dimensions. I can't stop working on it until it looks different from every angle. My sculptures don't have a front side, because any side could be in front. Therefore, the sculptures work particularly well in places where they can be experienced from all sides.
I love ambiguity. I enjoy listening to the interpretations of the viewer because they’re all quite different. Everyone is allowed to see what they see; there is no right or wrong. In dialogue with the viewer or viewers, it gives me pleasure to open their minds to the possibility of multiple experiences of the same object.
I love the beauty of nature and hope to capture it in my work: valleys and hills, soft bends, unexpected twists, curved lines, the occasional small peak. I condense the forms in nature that particularly touch me into a small-scale artwork and experience.
