ABOUT

“I have always had an urge to create and explore new crafts and materials and I completely fell in love with the raw material. I love working with clay by creating textures and shaping my own organic form language. The clay is my way of telling stories of our beautiful surroundings.
I grew up near the forest, spending a lot of time in nature searching for different materials and textures. I have a lot of memories collecting flowers, leaves, wood pieces, shells and all types of stone. I still do collect but in a smaller scale. That is my source of inspiration.
Sometimes I draw the idea for a new creation, but most often I create from emotions and pure intuition. I am driven by natural things, which result in raw and organic creations that have their own unique expression and history”.

”I am focused on combining art, design and functionality. It is important for me to design and create objects with a function. I like to combine contrasts between the soft organic shape and the hard material, so my works appear both masculine and feminine with their porous and robust forms. By using only raw stoneware clay, firesand and recycled bricks the objects retain the strong connection to the earth.
I wish to create something special with every piece having its own journey and characteristics. Like in every unique detail of body and nature. The beauty of imperfection”.
