• I love ceramic glaze. It touches me, fascinates me and fills me with wonder. It is because of a glaze that so moved me, that I decided to become a glaze artist.


  ‘The poetics of glaze, ceramic surface and the perception of depth’ is the subject of my PhD thesis. It is the depth of a ceramic glaze that I am awed by and that draws me in.


  I am interested in the ability of a glaze to attract viewers towards an inner space where they can lose themselves in its contemplation, possibly experiencing an aesthetic, artistic and emotional shock.
