Aanraakbaar maken van tijd & klimaat
Het gieten van het dunste doorschijnende eierschaal porselein is als een oefening in vooruitzien op een toekomstig klimaat om de poëzie van Aardse kwetsbaarheid en vergankelijkheid tot uitdrukking te brengen.

Tangibility of time & climate
Casting the thinnest translucent eggshell porcelain is an exercise in anticipation of a future climate to express the beauty of Earthly vulnerability and transience.
