Statement:

I strive to serve as a witness, documenting elusive human phenomenon. By emulating the anonymous makers throughout history, I produce objects that can serve as evidence of personal and global experiences of this era. I focus my attention on ambiguous situations as I try to reveal the idiosyncrasies in contemporary human existence.

The rich historical continuum of material culture and functional objects serves as a canvas for my work. The contemporary aesthetic is used in my art as intentional reference to the overly processed digital and industrial environment. A piece can emerge from either a concept or an intriguing technology. I first immerse myself in research, and as a theme arises from the data I attach it with the appropriate form. The choice of fabrication method for each piece is often allegorical and at times I combine traditional with industrial techniques. Imagery is often used as bait, luring the viewer with an illusion of familiarity, only to be later exposed as an illusion.

The Push Down and Turn series is a new body of work addressing the disparities and risks posed by the healthcare system and pharmaceutical industries. One striking example of the systematic gender-bias is that researchers conduct five times as many studies into Erectile Dysfunction as Premenstrual Syndrome, despite the fact that less than 25% of men suffer from the former and over 75% of women experience symptoms of the latter. In the piece (little blue spill), a medicine bottle has been tipped over and is overflowing. Near it stands untouched a seemingly solid bottle. It is in fact glazed from within with a different type of glaze which remains unseen to the beholder.
