My Journey

Her mind has always worked globally, questioning things. Her hands dig deep into the pool of material elements, searching for design, driven by a longing for manual penetration of the material and possibilities.

 

Since her youth she has travelled all over the world and in each country she has learned a craft from which she could learn something about old traditions and the processing of natural resources into works of cultural value. In Tunisia she shaped clay into goods, in Mexico it was silversmithing whose shine magically attracted her, and in Europe's historic steel forge in the heart of the Ruhr region the shiny black gold from the mines captivated her senses.

 

And here, finally, her lively critical spirit merged at the boiling point of a lifelong chain of knowledge from man and matter, in the perception and exploration of natural appearance and malleable form and, unconditionally, in the merciless face of the finiteness of global resources, to form a touching archaic trinity of essence in her current art: coal, copper and water - black gold, blue gold and, like the constant stream of life within it, the heat-conducting semi-precious metal Cu, soft, malleable and tough at the same time.
