Ocean creatures, ancient Burano lace and fossils I use as the sources of inspiration. I try to put the results of my research and practice in modern context. In my porcelain works I explore the nature trying to push the boundaries of ceramic technique to another level of expression, reaching the edge of potential of this traditional branch of art and craft. I use my particular technique by extruding material through the nozzle, creating unique spatial structure.
