Being aware of the present moment and everything that surrounds us, is for me the highest good. The work I do, be it physical objects, embodied experiences, interactive performances or workshops, is about connecting to our bodies, experiencing fully, and becoming more present and conscious in every moment.
I follow a design practice led by concept, experimentation and observation. Synchronising my breath with my slowed down gestures I create a dialogue between my body and the organic material clay while arriving in my body in the here and now. The results are a full body experience as well as objects that function as documentation of my lived experience, carrying my breath, my touch, my presence.
So I would say, it is more the other way around, my work as ceramic artist informs my work as facilitator and teacher. I love to inspire others to look deep inside for inspiration and find the answers within them, instead of looking externally.
