In my work I have been exploring the co-existence between space and art and this experience as whole. The element of open space has been integral to all the places I have lived, worked and studied and also has been a continuous inspiration in my art practice of ceramics, glass, photography and print. My biggest inspirations come from how we build our individual and collective identity of space between the present moment and memories as well as from the nature and its primary purity. In experimenting with space, layers of allegories and their composition, my work draws the line between time and space through narrative, form and display. In my work I have been exploring the direction of new expressions and dialogue within ceramics and surrounding, working with all different aspects and feelings of space in between form, its layers and meanings. I have been exploring the tactile qualities that can be captured in ceramics and within its display in the space. Clay is the catalyst in my search for expressions of the sublime in our surrounding and life with layers of allegories and tactile qualities that can be developed in the ceramic form. What I have observed seems like a journey through history of art looking for experience of timeless beauty where all the limitations of our perception dissolve within the experience of art.

Currently my art practice is taking the direction of combining the ceramic medium with new technologies such as laser cutting, 3D printing and Rapid Prototyping. I am very interested in the dialogue between the digital environment and ceramics and see this part of my practice as a continuation of my previous projects in ceramics and print, exploring all the different aspects of the journey between layers of form and meanings. Working with images I approach them with the potential to develop the forms, patterns and textures in ceramics and other materials.
