Keramiek — dat is terug naar de basis. Eerst met je handen in de klei: bouwen, draaien, proberen controle te krijgen. Geen tijd om na te denken. Daarna begint het vormgeven, het testen van glazuren, en leren hoe je ze toepast. Veel misbaksels, soms een geslaagd stuk. Dan voelt het of alles klopt.

Impromtus Opus 1
In this series, I explore the ‘bottle’ both as a form and a messenger. The 21 small, turned stoneware objects emerged intuitively, without a predefined plan. Their deformation using a small board alludes to industrially formed glass, in contrast to the hand-drawn handle. The self-developed deep green glaze, based on lava flour from the Eifel, ensures visual coherence. The addition of conjunctions—my graphic background is never far away—introduces a linguistic layer in which the objects link together into a sentence structure. Which story fits in between is up to your imagination.

Stoneware, Eifel-lava glaze
Did ceramics not once serve—partly—to anchor heroism, power, and myth? In this series, I shift the perspective to a contemporary equivalent: I literally bake in our own behavior, words, or deeds—or those of our ‘authority figures’. Ceramics remember, precisely what we humans are so bad at.
