Ceramic sculptures and wall objects form the framework of my work, in which a hard, fired material is transformed into something light, sensuous, and in motion. I debuted at the Artists’ Autumn Exhibition in 1997, followed by a practice that has moved through textiles, painting, and in recent years, ceramics.
In the series Wallflowers, the point of departure is the flower as a symbol of femininity. In contrast to the concept of a “wallflower” — someone who remains in the background — the works insist on stepping forward, breaking free from the wall, and claiming their space. The forms range from spiky and repellent to soft and alluring, containing a constant tension between vulnerability and strength.
Through repetition and the accumulation of small, individually shaped elements, dense, tactile surfaces emerge with a sense of movement — like wind moving through something soft — even though the material is frozen in fired ceramic.
The process is slow and rhythmic. Alongside my artistic practice, I work as an independent print designer, where the use of pattern and repetition is directly reflected in the ceramic works.
