Artist Statement

All that surrounds me, exits me and influences me eventually shows up in my work.

I have always been fascinated by the ability of the ceramic work to tell a story. Images upon a three dimension object give me a visual language to communicate speechlessly with the viewer. I try to evoke thought and contemplation, my work has a critical dimension and caries a message.

Inspiration for my work comes from all aspects of life, personal and collective memories and experiences, War, Environment, religion, culture, imagination and reality all come together to tell a critical story of Frozen moments in time.
