Space fragments
In my work I use zinc plates as “building stones” by randomly sawing and assembling them. Each plate has its special texture, colour and shape. It connects my fascination for spaces and old objects. My recent work includes a collection of wearable objects made out of zinc, additional woven elements and lately I have started using paint and shrinking plastic. From these different materials spaces and imaginary figures arise.

Small details give the pieces character/personality. Details of a journey between inside-oudside, showing- hiding. The wearer decides what to show and what to hide. Who do you let in your world?


Straw-life goes on
The main expressions of the faces in the shape of brooch correspond to the pleasure of life and its maintaining.
Each piece represents its own character in specific ways.
The construction is made out of plastic straws and invites the sun-light to reveal each object fully.
The pieces intermingle figuration and abstraction like a crossing of joy and grief.
Instead of dressing a portrait of how life should be, I prefer to show its diversity of emotions.
They are far away from perfection but sometimes clumsiness can be closer to the reality.
