As a visual artist I often create objects that are both autonomous and can be worn on the body. I work with a variety of materials and applications. From the craft of goldsmithing, I have gradually moved toward autonomous art. I still work with metals and frequently draw on my expertise as a goldsmith. In addition, I work often with laboratory glassware and porcelain, which I combine with red thread and textiles.
My work is often body-related. Forms and structures refer to anatomy (skin, organs, blood vessels) while remaining ambiguous. Emotional connectedness forms an underlying thread in my work, where the tension with autonomy is central: how body and identity relate, and how relationships change and redefine themselves. I explore how material and form can carry what is difficult to put into words.
Alongside these more complex themes, I also seek lightness and playfulness in my goldsmithing. This results in jewelry objects that sometimes carry a subtle activist tone, while leaving room for humor and perspective.
