In my work I talk about the phenomenon of the moment as a fleeting condition, and about how we crytallize personal moments in the pool of events by experiencing, memorizing and collecting. The flow of incidents and the uniqueness of every moment, regarding the openness of an endless number of possibilities is what interest me. I think of this as a fragile system through which we navigate, and through which we are navigated, and which could be compared to the amorphous structure of glass. I use glass and other materials, including natural phenomena in a poetic, metaphoric way to picture our fleeting, vulnerable existence.
My practice is open to various disciplines, but I have a strong affection for glass as it offers very unique sculptural possibilities.
Glass itself is a material, which in itself is a sort of in between, its multifarious materiality is characterized by transformation, transition, and translucency. Its solid state seems to be a momentary statement.
I am interested in sensitizing perception and raising awareness of the uniqueness of life and it is my wish to make art that sparks curiosity towards life`s phenomena.
We mostly get curious about something we do not understand or something we never saw before.
Art has the potential to be this curious something that has the ability to pull us out of implicitness.
I am interested in creating strangeness in the familiar, which I see as a catalyst for curiosity, mostly by using materials in unusual ways and by recreating familiar moments in unfamiliar situations.
