Sometimes it strikes me. I feel a great desire for a thing, often from my everyday life. It can be an emptied plastic container, food from the kitchen, a garment that I no longer use from the wardrobe. Or my body, that thing that I always carry with me and that I know so well.

I use mould-making and casting to preserve and transform these objects into other materials. What was an impulse has now become something permanent. The item has now turned into a sculptural building block.
The building blocks are then put together in an intuitive and direct process. The things find their logic. I think that I am exploring and distorting self-experienced and made-up scenarios, that I let myself play for a moment. The objects create new narratives, shapes, (dream) bodies. Those with a carrot nose, giant ears, lips made out of pastries, dressed in fruit shoes.
