My Passion is working with Porcelain. 
I find working with this incredible material a challenge: white, transparent, fine, strong but at the same time fragile, uncompromising, tearing and deforming and all its other assets are immensely fascinating and highly challenging in the shaping of my work.  
It is a search for strength, like in a shell; the fortitude of porcelain which can break but does not perish, does not get affected by weather, wind, fungus and bacteria. It is a search for movement; rhythm, weightlessness, fragility and transparency, so light and transparent that the material becomes almost immaterial.
