From the Memory Series

There is something very moving and very compelling in working with porcelain that contains 60% of the actual bone ash (or might it be just my personal craving to romanticize the entire experience?…) Usually in new places I work on the moulds found in situ, manipulating, modifying and piecing up different sections of them together in a way that is always very much connected to the place they come from. I work very intuitive, letting the materials and the process itself add their part to the resulting works as well. In my projects I tell stories about relationships and memory by assembling fragments into complex constructions. The objects feature familiar elements stripped of their functions, arranged into new configurations and given a completely new role to play.

This time I brought my own vocabulary (moulds) with me in order to be able to focus purely on resonating with a new place/situation and to examine my whole creative process. I am still learning how to improve my vocabulary and be able to translate better a delicate tissue of Memory to the language of materials; to create works about how memory is built, how it structures the past, how it affects and makes us and how we affect and make it.
