Interviews

In what techniques do you usually work and what materials do you use?My practice is multi-disciplinary in nature, from the way I draw, plan installations and think about different concepts. These areas intertwine from the research that informs my work- by rough scribbled drawings on scraps of paper, to precise computer-aided illustrations. I usually need to see my pieces in...

In what techniques do you usually work and what materials do you use?My ceramic work is built from clay slabs. The clay which I am using it is a mixture of two stoneware bodies, Molochite, and flax fiber. I have developed this clay while working for European EKWC Work Center in ‘s-Hertogenbosch in 1998. At gray/black objects, a black body...

I have for a long time maintained both a sculptural and a functional line of ceramic objects. My sculptural work incorporates handbuilt and slip cast components; found objects, and constructed...

These are all subjects that have always interested me but that I have never fully explored. I am also continuing to use some of the broken piece...

Sometimes I combine the two and start from a thrown vessel and handbuild onto it. I work mostly in black clay. I...

I have always been drawn to translucent bodies, and the one I am currently making is more translucent than any I have used previously. Being bone china it is also whiter than any...
