My main medium is paperclay and porcelain. This material provides for me many ways to speak through material and reconnect loose ties. Often I choose not to go through the firing process and use raw material for my work. I have possibility to choose in which form and how long my work exists.
“I am listening to the withdrawing steps of humidity, and stretching out a bit. I have been lying down underneath the edge of the bed for days, waiting for the moment when the gathered strength will let me get up…I leave a light, dusty trace on hands; a trace that has a chalky smell. At a clumsy touch I will shatter into dusty crumbs. I am waiting. Waiting for meeting water again.”
