In my art the process itself is a reacquiring topic such as the creation process as well as the narrative representation. Creating series of art work also highlights the significance of the process. Video projections frequently can be seen as part of my art installations. I am keen on linking my work with other mediums such as music or video where the time and particularly the passing of time is paramount. I find it important to collaborate with artists using other mediums as I am particularly interested in the interaction between different disciplines. Most of my sculptures combine pâte de verre and casting techniques. I use contrasting surfaces and colours. I often experiment with mixing colours and the movement of pigments within a sculpture. I grind and polish my mould-shaped sculptures.
