I love the traces of time in old, neglected objects and materials. The stories they tell, like shards of pottery, old notebooks or my mothers embroidery threads. The cracks, the discoloration have a vulnerability and beauty. I want to capture this in my work. Maybe I just want to capture time?

Making a collage is a form of play to me. Shuffling all the pieces around till I sense a kind of shift, a moment of balance.  Finding that balance gives joy and a sense of calmness. So every collage is an attempt to find some balance in a chaotic world. And I hope you will experience that balance, joy or calmness too.

I am inspired by all sorts of texture, raw edges and loose ends. The tangible/textural quality of the collages are important to me.  I hope it will attract you to also touch it with your eyes or hands. That you too, are somehow touched by it.  I want to make art that is touching in all kinds of ways.
