Artist Statement

 

Our everyday life is a compound of private, social and political events. Some are insignificant; some are hard to shake off, leaving a deep mark. Consciously and subconsciously, I drew my inspiration from those events and channelled them into my works. Each piece tells a story…my personal representation of relationships, dreams, hopes, struggle, balance and harmony.

My work is my way to connect with the world.  My language is clay. I create words on the Potters’-wheel, and then combine and shape my sentences by hand.

Growing up, I liked spending time in my own Micro–Magical world of Lego toys, train sets and assembly kits. As I’m trying to find “my voice” as an artist, I cannot ignore that early influence. Rarely do I throw a vessel all in one piece. I constantly play Lego, but now, I get to create my own units.
