| The sources from which I dwell,
is my interest in different cultures and their
traditions. They come from the basis of my own
background. With parents who originated from
the Far East and me having grown up in the West,
I have been formed and nourished by two cultures.
In a way, I am in search of elements that match
the process that is going on inside of me, of
shaping my own identity and of self perception.
A synthesis, a symbiosis, a melting pot of different
cultures that enrich each other.
I look upon my work as an interaction between
what is observed and the emotions that are felt
versus the outside world which also play a role
in the process. The frame of mind at a particular
moment together with seeing what is already
there, cause the formulation of the next step.
As a result of this interaction, a story of
its own arises. My every day reality together
with my romantic reality that colors my view
of the world. The outside world is thus converted
to my inner world. Consequently it becomes emotionally
accessible and possible to deal with artistically.
Through traveling and doing projects I shape
my ideas about this. The mixture of cultural
expressions, especially focused on traditional
ceramic art(crafts) and architecture are the
branches of art of which I use certain elements.
Through the recurrent character of my work,
I examine the technical possibilities as well
as the limitations in this area. Through orientation
and working at different ceramics companies
that apply these reproduction techniques, I
gain experiences. This concerns companies in
and outside the region where I live.
My work as an artist is a reaction to the aforementioned,
I make statues and/or installations, within
which I try to define/explore the line between
arts and crafts.
I make use of varied forms and/or form elements.
By placing them as a structural element in a
repetitive composition they are disconnected
form their original functional use/function.
In this way/thus I evoke a different way of
looking at them, i.e. different from looking
at each element separately. On the one hand
the aspect of repetition
creates a bigger distance, on the other hand
it straitens out the path to approach the work
of art in total, with its own significance and
validity.
