Statement
The Ancient Greek word «kosmos» could be read as rhythm;Kosmos could also be read as adornment. Homeric epics describe how «kosmos» clothes the body as a second skin to make it appear.
Through my work I try to redefine «kosmos», designing adornments made of ordinary and overlooked everyday objects. Things that I de-construct and re-arrange in space/puzzles, that clothe the body while speaking of immaterial relationships: The precious and the non-precious; the beautiful and the ambiguous; the familiar and the unusual; the lasting and the ephemeral.
