The method of creation
During my design process I have a hands-on approach towards the material I work with. My work is shaped by repurposing existing techniques,
for example in how I design a mould. By constantly researching and experimenting with various techniques, I question how we approach everyday
objects by transforming them. At the beginning of my design process, I purposely leave open what the outcome of design can be.
By embracing the qualities of the material during the process it will become clear in what kind of shape and context the work will evolve.
The ambition in my work is looking for a raw refinement. Within this, I take in account how an object can be considered finished or not;
from my own view and from the view of the beholder. In the outcome of a design, I find it important that a human touch remains visible.
This gives an object character and makes it more personal.
