Statement

 

 I am an observer, investigating human body as an medical object. I am finding links and exploring relationships between fragility of human life, the impact of our life style choices and the environment we created to live in on our health and the environment.

My work is influenced and inspired by nature as well as human creation and technology. I take inspiration in city living, recycling and human consumption as well as hospital environment where I work. I use object of everyday life in my work, and I am fascinated by Industrial textures and colours in contrast and in combination with soft and natural designs. I currently work in stoneware, use different hand- building techniques and combination of wheel-thrown shapes to create unique pieces. My work Is very intuitive and I usually do not know what will happen next, or how will the finished piece look like,leaving space for surprise. I like to use different types of clay and leave the surface mainly unglazed, leaving the natural colour of the clay stand out, with oxides and glazes rubbed into the textures.
