Artist Statement
My sculptures show the necessity of opposites; they are paradoxes. On the one hand, they are mass in thin-built layers, running to and from in a smooth and continuous motion. On the other hand, they are air and light, forming the volumes from empty space. The body of each sculpture strains in different directions but still stays together, uniform. A network of holes, conjunctions, funnels and inner rooms, they reflect varying degrees of external and internal pressure. I think of my sculptures as rhythmical self-portraits.
