Featured work
Selected works, 2015-2021
My practice is based on ceramics and the knowledge that any material has inner value. I’m interested in the dialogue between different media, material thinking, and understanding by touching. Clay in relation to nature and primitive knowledge has impacted my recent work. Concentration and the holistic approach it offers is approached in my recent installations Four Foot and The Savage Mind 2021.
