SCULPTURES

In my sculptures I am constantly looking for simplicity and elegance. I find inspiration in flowing and mathematically inspired forms. Shapes that seem impossible at first glance, like Möbius bands,  intrigue me. Clay, alabaster and bronze are my favourite materials.

First, I took courses in woodworking and sculpting in stone and wood. Under the guidance of Johan Docquier in the Court of Imagination, I learned the techniques, tools and materials of sculpting. The training encouraged me to work by hand and to let the stone guide me. Gradually I developed my own approach and style. Because my sculptures became thinner and thinner I also started to use clay to build the shapes I want to create. Now I work every day with clay and stones at a quiet but unstoppable rhythm.
