What inspires you to make work?
I admire the human beings’  social nature and the paradox of life and death. Specifically, thinking about the strength of human vulnerability from a woman’s perspective and transforming this into short stories about change.
My research is to find the “spatial” relationship  between the self and others. Spaces where equality, tolerance, wisdom and compassion can be found. This is why I work in layers and transparencies, using fragile, delicate materials.  Studying the subtle spaces between layers and using these as a metaphor for the extremes of inside or outside, what you see and what you don’t, and intimate or explicit messages. When you study these sensitive and vulnerable areas, one becomes aware that vulnerability can transform into strength.

I imagine the body as a landscape of paradox.  The skin is a surface boundary between interior and exterior. Territory that deals with ‘caring for someone else’ and ‘relationships with others’.  In many cultures, traditionally these roles are perceived as reflecting the female condition.
My perspective of the world is entirely feminine and encourages ‘the observer’ to connect with emotions in order to create common areas of understanding, caring and respect.  My daily life involves observation and a contemporary view of all, that is private and public. I file and record fragments from magazines, newspapers and personal experiences.
I like to break stereotypes and so shift awareness to perceive that we are all equally challenged and vulnerable. And that, in this shadow zone, we can find our “hidden strengths”.

Ever have artists’ block? Yes. It is part of the creative process. We have to accept it. The important thing is to enjoy the process of doing and discovering. It doesn’t matter if it’s “rubbish” or a “piece of art”. Let it come and go! Then flow. (like water).
