Spontaneity and movement

It is this continuous journey in which I balance form, colour and design. I want my vessels to show spontaneity and movement. The shapes are quick and loosely formed and have an intentional irregularity. They show strength along with an organic flowing elegance. In combination with the thickly applied porcelain engobe, vessels are created that invite you to touch them. A subconscious awareness and connectedness to my environment emerges and shows itself in my work. With each piece I make sure the colour areas are in harmony with the background and the colour balances the design. The white canvas of the vessels is part of the composition. The colour combinations I use are carefully composed by me and transformed into coloured porcelain engobes. With loose intuitive brushstrokes colour is applied in several layers. The engobes are treated like oil paints, where different brushes are used to create shapes, and patterns. I add accents, among other things with strong, dynamic splashes of colour turning the object into an abstract dynamic painting. When I feel it’s needed I make use of self developed monoprints. It is this tightrope walking on the boundary between function and sculpture that fascinates me.
