I prefer to be an observer. As an observer my thoughts and impressions are refuges in the world we live in. Being an observer gives me the opportunity to create some sort of distance to this world, a world full of occurances in which I can loos myself easily. My work offers me the opportunity to hold, to preserve these impressions (the questions, doubts, etc.) I take them out of their context and isolate them, and, as a way of speaking, I approach the world once again. Doing that I create orde in my experiences. Gestures become images, experiences are getting an appearance. You may call it an attempt to get control. For me beauty lies in the human shortcomings, the human imperfection; it is about the intrinsic and existential struggle, nobody can avoid. I want to expose this ‘shortcoming’. I want to uncover its vulnerability and dispose it from its postures and masks. This exposure of ‘shortcoming’ delivers disarming and striking images, which, paradoxicaly, evolve in very powerfull images. This is the focuspoint of my work. To develope a statue I deliberately use clay. It is essential to me that I work ‘through’ the image. It suites my theme’s. This way of creating, intertwines with the ideas and impressions that are left, and time helps to develope an idea to the maximum and visualize it.
