"New projects usually occur after reflecting on certain subjects, items or concepts that caught my attention and which I want to integrate into the work. Other ceramic projects come as a response to a challenging and interesting thematic for a special event or exhibition. What I particularly like is to closely observe plants, animals and insects, and to study their surfaces with a special attention to the countless details, drawings, textures or structures." / Pre-Order Digital Issue Two or Subscribe. |

"It is a secret den inside the sculpture, child’s hideout, where you might get away from regular life and be somebody else for a while. One woman who enters the sculpture sings pure tones into it, exploring how each one resonates. Some people tentatively press a finger against a wall to test its solidity or to feel the vitality of the wet clay facing them at eye level. This is clearly not sculpture alone."

"I am of Flemish origins, I have always lived in the North of France. In my region and in Belgium, more particularly, the black color is omnipresent: in my ancestors clothes, in the colors of the walls, in Flemish paintings. When I walk around cities like Amsterdam or Gand, or along the enbankment in Anvers Harbor, or wandering in Bruxelles, what strikes me is the simplicity and efficiency of architecture, either XVIth century and ultra-contemporary. Streamlined shapes, huge openings to catch maximum light in spite of often grey skies." |

"I started from the phrase “Where you stroke and where it cracks” (a Romanian proverb meaning that an action has an unexpected result, similar to “He struck at Tib, but down fell Tom”), a saying that resonates with our daily experiences. The ceramic material and the chosen form help me to point out the paradox of expression. It’s a work in progress." |

"It may happen to change the idea in the process - for example in painting everything happens almost simultaneously but in ceramics, the execution time is slower and the mind begins to work. Usually, I try not to diverge too far from the main idea, but I have to be very careful because if I let myself flow in experiments, I can easily derail and fail to reach the destination. Ceramics doesn’t give you much opportunity to step back in the process, instead it forces you to take it again from beginning." |
