Statement
Metal is my preferred form of communication, not only as a material for making pieces, moreover as a medium to carrier content. I am interested in trial and error whether meaning an subject matter as a form of narrative functions. This playful approach is my way of making, testing, and research the materiality in metal. The life of humans and the being of objects is of interest to me and to interpret their construct in 3D ‘text‘ narration in a variety of materials, forms, and function.-
