Why Clay?

My passion for working with clay is an expression of sensations and thoughts.

What do I want to convey?

I deal with symbols which reflect my meditation about place and time. Memories and dreams guide me to draw autobiographical and other maps and to translate them into ceramic bodies.

What characterizes my work process?

To find the right technique for the material and the idea. The search, the investigation and the right syntax guide me to the concrete outcome.

My tool of choice…Can’t create without it:

My sketchbook

Absolutely necessary in my working environment?

Clay, wheel, drawing and painting materials, camera, scale.
