Personal Interests

I was attracted to the object because of the natural shapes, brought together in a whole collection. The shapes seemed to be formed by coincidence. I associated them with mushrooms and a freezing moment of a particular liquid. They reminded me of the high speed water drop photographs of Heinz Maier.

Nature creates all kind of random patterns, like a group of birds for example; together they create a form by flying a certain direction. Inspired by serie EARTHFLIGHT. (This interest in birds from both sides is by accident) (Jelly fishes) (Bees eyes) Another stoneware collection that creates a overall concept is Lindform. The inspiration for the Swedish company Lindform comes from the Scandinavian nature with it’s organic tones and simple shapes. Emerged from a moment picking stones on a beautiful beach. The collection also contains influences from Japan, whose minimalist style marries well with the Nordic design. The vases are made in cooperation with Lindform in Thailand by a small family business with 40 years of experience. All products are handmade of lead-free porcelain clay. Every piece is unique in itself. All vases together create a wonderful pebble beach but also each vase separately is of a beautiful simplicity, with or without a flower!
