My work is in principle theme based. I start with an idea, work it out and then use appropriate materials and techniques.

I am primarily interested in human interaction. Topics investigated are relationships and communication. I like the contrast of the soft, friendly fabrics with the, often, harsh topics like domestic abuse and suicide bombers.

Then, on the other hand, there is the more poetic artwork with which I, in a sober manner, contemplate about the ‘why’s and ‘what for’s of life. I try to capture the intangible: like experiences and time.

The material I use, textile, is so commonplace that we usually take it for granted. But, maybe just because of this quality, it has probably more than any other material the enormous power to evoke recognition and tell stories.

Textile has the ability to touch everybody in a real intimate way. Its tactility makes our fast-moving and technically oriented lives more sensual and less impersonal.
