The essence of my artistic practice lies in exploring the dualities that
define our existence: the interplay of male and female, death and regeneration,
loss and memory, pain and joy, interior and exterior, line and shape, wet and
dry, malleable and hard. Each sculpture is a dialogue between contrasts,
inviting viewers to delve into the complexities of the natural world and human
emotion.
My recent explorations in wall sculptures and ‘candelabras’ are imbued with
references to memorials, commemorative plaques or votive sconces. These works
weave together suggestive shapes that add a layer of ambiguity, provoking
thought and introspection.
The intertwining of forms sometimes reminiscent of body organs,
vegetation or animal forms sometimes evokes a slightly unsettling yet
compelling narrative. Each viewer may perceive different recognizable shapes in
the sculpture through the lens of their life experiences. This pareidolia is a
way to begin appreciating the sculpture.
Through my ceramics, I strive to evoke a sense of discovery and curiosity. My
sculptures are not merely decorative; they are vessels of meaning, inviting
contemplation and reflection on the dualities that define our shared human
experience.
