The main focus of my work is the combination of textiles and ceramics, which creates sensory illusions. My creative approach specialises in experimental activities, so the result is often unexpected. My work questions and pushes the boundaries of the materials. My approach is interdisciplinary, i.e. it belongs to both textile and ceramic arts. Objects are created through the symbiosis of materials.
Is porcelain capable of such a transformation, of imitating another medium? My works are constructed through an experimental, rethought weaving technique. This makes it possible to create structures that contradict the character of porcelain. I also play with variations of the deformations of the structures, that result from high firing in the kiln. Some of the warping is deliberately manipulated, but the final shape also depends on the temperature and how gravity acts on the objects. There is both chance and purpose in my working process, randomness and purpose are present at the same time. Learning from the results after each firing, makes me see porcelain as a partner in creation. The use of several media simultaneously results in hybrid objects that visually trick the senses. The viewer discovers material that does not seem to be what he/she expected. My aim is to work without stereotypes of the material and to open up new dimensions of perception.
