Both teaching individuals and working artistically myself, is a great and unique experience for me. The mutual support and inspiration are a great asset for each others' development.

 What moves me are processes of development in space and time - metamorphosis! Working in sequences, where one form relates and develops to the next is expressive of a wholeness which relates to life as such. It is important to me that every sculpture is in itself an organic whole, where each part relates to the whole like a limb to a body or a branch to the tree trunk.​

This quality of development I am searching to incorporate into my sculptures to express their coming into being out of the forces at work: open, irregularly textured surfaces create traces, evidence of a becoming, transient gesture "in process", contrasting the finished, hard and smooth surfaces which come to rest in their finality.
