What inspires you?

I am constantly motivated by natural processes and organic forms, this includes the way a leaf falls from the tree, a pattern a cloth makes when folding, a glass pebble washed from the sea, etc. Mindful observation is a never-drying source of inspiration. I also look for new shapes by paying close attention to everyday gestures and movements.

Describe your creative process.

An idea can come to my mind at any place. I first play with it a little in my imagination. Then I write it down ad leave for some time. Later (it can take days or it can take months) I come back to it; if it's worthy it's usually already evolved into something bigger. This is when I start building it in clay: working on the details, thinking of the processes, trying new methods and tools. The refining goes on until I'm in love with the work. We part ways, and the journey begins again.
