SCULPTURES

In my sculptures I am constantly looking for simplicity and elegance. I find inspiration in flowing and mathematically inspired forms, among others, from the artists M. C. Escher, Kurokawa Toru, Jan van der Laan, Merete Rasmussen and Eva Hild. Shapes that seem impossible at first glance, like Möbius bands,  intrigue me. Clay, alabaster and bronze are my favourite materials.

​

First, I took courses in woodworking and sculpting in stone and wood. Under the guidance of Johan Docquier in the Court of Imagination, I learned the techniques, tools and materials of sculpting. The training encouraged me to work by hand and to let the stone guide me. Gradually I developed my own approach and style. Because my sculptures became thinner and thinner I also started to use clay to build the shapes I want to create. Now I work every day with clay and stones at a quiet but unstoppable rhythm.
