About me

I explored sculpture, dance, performance, video and installation during my Fine Art studies in Bologna, Vienna and Frankfurt. I took part in exhibitions and residencies in Europe and Asia before returning to work with clay, the medium of my very first creations.

In 2015 I learned the craft of ceramics from an Italian production potter. I had been working with clay for many years making models for sculptures and installations and I was immediately fascinated by both the practice of creating on the potter’s wheel and by mediterranean glazing techniques. 

I set up my own studio and continued to deepen my understanding of ceramic techniques and history. Wheel throwing and hand-building are an essential part of my practice. The medium of clay has become a way for me to engage with research and experimentation. Studying historical ceramics is a continuous part of this process that manifests itself in my hand-built vessels, figurines and small editions of daily ware. Collages and drawings are also part of this process and some of them become works in their own right.

In my ongoing project Being a Vessel I am self-consciously inspired by a constellation of artists, architects, and designers. This work is rooted in my need to carry their creative life with me beyond the exhibitions or publications I have seen. What started as a way to create personalized reminders of these figures by translating their work in to my own visual language has become an in -depth (ever evolving) research into the notion of artistic ancestry. 

Unfolding from my interaction with forms, materials and colours Being a Vessel is an exploration of what it means to be influenced and inspired. It is a dedication to the Vase / the Vessel itself – a form that has the ability to contain, hold and embody.
