Material, Light and Time
Found Material
Every piece begins with a found material.
Old glass carries stories.
Of use and forgetting.
Of the paths it has taken.
I search for these materials deliberately –
and at the same time allow myself to be found by them.
Places of Discovery
Riverbanks.
Antique markets.
Archives of chance.
Along the riverbank,
water, sand and time shape the glass.
At markets,
objects reveal traces of former lives.
What I collect is not rarity –
but resonance.
Time and Patina
Not everything
needs to become.
The studio
The studio is an archive of possibilities.
Shelves filled with gathered materials
wait,
until light reveals them.
Patience is part of the process.
Technology
Technology serves poetry.
Never the other way around.
Light is integrated discreetly.
Miniaturized.
Reduced to its essence.
It supports the material –
without dominating it.
Transformation
Transformation is an act of care.
Seeing.
Sorting.
Selecting.
What matters is coherence.
When material and light
find their balance,
the work is complete.
What has been lived
also has a right to light.
Every piece begins with a found material.
