Artist-author
I love drawing, and many of my works begin with a sketch. The outline of a cup, the pose of a figure, the expression — I work them out first in pencil. Then comes the material.
In my workshop, the two materials, wood and ceramics, coexist. My work with material (before that I did virtual sculpture) began with wood. During a very rich year, I learned the techniques of ornamental carving and the principles of low relief and sculpture in the round. I love sculpture; I draw my inspiration from the veins in the wood, from the plasticity of clay, and from the world around me: nature, human relationships, feelings.
Utilitarian objects also fascinate me; I love throwing on the wheel, and I am always amazed when a ball of clay takes on a beautiful object’s shape. My current area of interest lies in combining wood and ceramics.
My workshop is small, and I often work in my living room. The workshop is equipped for ceramics as well as wood carving. I have a ceramic kiln and a potter's wheel. Throwing clay is fascinating. My greatest passion is sculpting in the round and in low relief. The hands-on experience takes place in the living room of my house. My workshop is next door.
