"Sculpture. “Using metaphorical imagery, I construct and deconstruct intricate forms that encapsulate the complex way organisms grow and develop. At the same time, I have developed a meticulously detailed working method that is just as complex. The working method is slow, which for me is necessary as the process gives birth to new ideas and thoughts that are woven into the work. I work in porcelain clay, each sculpture is made up of hundreds of parts that are individually turned and reshaped and then assembled. Each new sculpture becomes a further development of the previous one. The ambition with my artistic work is to create not only unique forms, but that together they express strength, an inherent power of growth, but also the fragility in that everything can be easily destroyed and perish. It is of course a hint of nature and environmental destruction, where I still have hope that nature can overcome man's devastating impact on our planet.”

Nature as inspiration. "I am of course inspired by nature's design language, but also by its duality. There are investigative values ​​in recurring forms that generate new constellations.I have taken note of different organisms' ways of replicating and thus constructed (and deconstructed) my own, which can sometimes have a high degree of complexity. There is an exciting challenge in developing a new design language but also in working with the material, porcelain, in a larger format.
