Presently my works are within a frame of a story that is about the theme of “Time”. Studying natural processes of sedimentation, erosion and decay in combination with organisms growing on and affecting surfaces are an important part of my work. I intend to make the works appear as if they have been found or have made themselves, as if I am assisting the self-creation of the work. When creating a piece, I aim to make a balanced and dynamic shape with a surface that adds to the story and strengthen the impression of the shape. The observing, documenting, and reflecting on faults and unexpected happenings has given me an endless source of possibilities of refining or renewing my creative process. I am especially interested in materials and techniques and surface possibilities. Our experiences influence our perception of an object and its surface. My works are fragments of processes going on for a long time. The creation of a piece may have similarities to writing poems or short stories, as they often are carrying stories or are interpretations of impressions. An idea may come back in a new shape after some time of maturing. Traces of my actions, my thoughts, my skills, my materials, my heritage, and the environment I have lived in have been transferred to clay and preserved as ceramic works.
