A shell is a capsule, a framework that encases an entity, a passenger. During its journey into time its passengers grow, flourish, multiply, fade and die giving place to new ones. All these ephemeral entities transform this material capsule with their volume, their energy, their life. The shell remains as an evidence of their ephemeral existence and the workings of time.

I am interested in the visual and tactile narrating of this trail in a way that the viewer will identify himself with the tenant of the shell, wake from the lullaby of the everyday routine and appreciate the precious transitory existence.

New Projects

In this work I focus on the exploration of cross-sections and ways of revealing the internal volume of a vessel. Changes on the expected sequence of forms are inviting the eye to an interesting journey around the object.I am looking into creating a surprise of antithesis between solid and hollow, convex and concave, firm and fragile, tempting and menacing, with full respect on the fluidity of the form.

I am approaching colour more freely as another element of carrying emotions. It can be attractive or repulsive, bold or unpretentious, merry or sad. I want it to work hand in hand with texture and form in creating a combined visual and tactile experience.
