LOONALITY
“In my work, I generally reflect on the concept of place.
I am interested in the permanent process of its configuration and disintegration. While working with ceramics, a personal and poetic connection with stones, mud and minerals emerges. In my present work I reflect on the Moon as a place, space and landscape; and use its minerals to reflect on its geological connection with Earth.”
