In Relation

I am concerned with the moment itself – with what is immediately present. The way elements are touched, the tension created by not touching, the emerging rhythm of repetitions, spaces, and contact surfaces. I am interested in the materials themselves: their forms, colors, spaces, and their relationships to one another. To investigate them, I detach them from their utilitarian contexts in order to explore their sculptural qualities and consider them in new contexts. This thinking is done with the body – tactile sensitivity, one's own strength, bending, breaking, rolling, squeezing, stretching, pulling (...). In the moments that arise, I search for an approachable physical and emotional resonance. I am fascinated by how the smallest nuances, with the necessary attention, can create such a significant difference in the quality of movement or touch. I search for forms in which these moments find space. In this process, stillness plays a crucial role as a counterbalance to movement—that is, consonance to dissonance, rhythm and arrhythmia, repetition and deviation. In my work, the intuitive immediacy of perception and execution always takes precedence over cognitive planning and appropriation. A quiet, attentive exploration of material, physical, and spatial conditions.
