"At the centre of my practice I am a gatherer of things: words, abstract objects, everyday objects, colours, gestures, and questions. At Konstfack I will once again use gathering as a starting point for my work in clay, a way into intuitive making, an attempt at translating thoughts, feelings and experience that might not be easily translated through the use of language. "What might I gather? Learn? Feel? "How might my gesture with clay be affected by unfamiliar surroundings, people, place, language and objects? Will it change my framework for making? "How might a foreign language influence the words I choose to use as a starting point for making?"
