Statement
I’m a researcher and love to experiment with different materials and techniques. The search for the best suited material and technique to realize a thought is a joyful play. The feel of the different materials is crucial, many of my sculptures make you want to follow the fine curves and lines with your fingers.
Thematically, the human being is at the centre of my artistic work. I am interested in social mechanisms, their origins and motivations. I question our value system and deal intensively with interpersonal relationships. I let contradictions stand and resist the temptation to simplify complex systems.
A recurring focus in my work is our relationship with our children. In the fast-paced, hectic everyday life, the vulnerability and softness of a child's gaze is often forgotten. The time we have with our children is limited, every moment is precious. With my works I try to raise awareness about the value of time with our children.
