For several years I've been exploring the relationship between “free” three-dimensional space and two-dimensional geometric patterns. Evoking mathematical structures, a tension is created via contrast of geometric pattern and organic shape, with the final outcome forming an “amorphic” shape, that challenge the viewers to follow their imaginative interpretation. Utilizing porcelain’s intrinsic qualities and will to collapse, enables me to push porcelain to its extremes and the edge of the collapse and get the “amorphic” shapes, which I am looking for, ensuring the sculpture to become an energetic from. The final shapes cannot be planned or foreseen, with the folding process behind the work creating new inter-space “void image”. The pattern adds a new additional dimension to the folding, giving impression of softness like fabric or ribbon, forcing the eye to flow the folding and focusing on the “void image” created by the collapse, The sculptures are a metaphor of life itself full of contradictions: tension and balance, expectation and surprise, planning and chance, limited and unlimited, and always in motion.
