Statement
I am a potter. Visual artist, designer and doctor of arts. A child of the postmodern novel. The embodied knowledge acquired in direct contact with the material is crucial for my artistic practice. I look at the narratives contained in physical matter. I consider the process of creating a work to be its greatest value. My response to the escalation of consumption chaos is to take into account the non-anthropocentric perspective in man's relationship with the world. I am a fan of plants and barter exchange.
