Fans, wipers, wires, perspectives, postures, shredders and actuators. Carried in hanging compositions, standing frameworks and reclining constructions. Reinforced with wood and metal, leftovers from the previous owner, and combined with unpredictable second-hand objects. In my love for items and fascination with collecting, these discarded materials find a new place in my sculptures.
Attentively and carefully, I connect found and discarded objects and strip articles of their conventional contexts. These are then reinterpreted in my sculptures: a record player becomes a rotating mechanism. I thoroughly explore the boundaries of materials, take their inherent traits seriously and grant them a new form. Are their material possibilities endlessly transformative?
In ‘Traffic lights turning red as if it were for us to have more time together’, materials come together in their specific forms, guided by the trust that they will find their place within my sculpture. The combination of objects emerges intuitively, in a play of possibilities and proportions.
Searching for postures and proportions, I encounter laws of nature that are universal and unchanging. The objects evoke recognition in the viewer and bring about the surprise of transformation. My fascination in connecting, adapting, and complementing acts as an invitation to discover these relationships.
