In the studio, my ceramic work consists of hand-thrown table ware, vessels and sculptural forms based on conceptual ideas.

My ceramic design is developed for a hand-thrown studio potter's production.
The pieces are often altered from a round basic model to asymmetric form.
A clear symbiosis between idea, function, form, material and hand-throwing technique is essential for my choice of new ceramic pieces.
I make sculptural pieces embodying elements of humanness, movement and body language, - a simple or complex altering of hand-thrown elements, - the pure form or glazed images suggesting fragments of the human body, life and mind. 
My ceramic pieces appear from the thematic ideas, that I research, and reflect my interest in different cultures, art history, humanity, the forms of the body, various personal memories and expressions.The simple suggestion of a body detail is shown in the naturally soft and white porcelain, while other sculptural pieces are textured, glazed, painted, drawn with references to an idea, a concept, theme, history of culture, political statement, personal memory, landscape, nature experience... - or the nature of ceramic materials, the natural phenomena of the clay coloured and accentuated by the ashes and flames of the firing.
The final pieces depend on the actual theme, the research in the story, scene or vision. The surface may have layers of meaning, ornaments, traditional, classic or site specific glaze types...
