SCULPTURES

In my sculptures I am constantly looking for wonder, simplicity and elegance. Mathematics and nature are both inspiring me. Infinity is a recurring theme and shapes that seem impossible at first glance, like Möbius bands,  intrigue me. Alabaster, bronze and clay are my favourite materials to build the shapes I want to create.

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 as material. Gardens are fantastic places where sculptures truly come into their own. I started using bronze because it's the ideal, durable material for this. Now I work every day with stones in my garden at a quiet but unstoppable rhythm.
