“Igapäeva realism on igapäeva maagia"– see on minu käivitav jõud ja loomingu aines. Mulle meeldib klaas ja ilu ja olu.Otsin läbi oma loomingu enda keskpunkti, klaas võimaldab mulle meditatiivset vaikusehetke. Mind huvitavad lood, mida kõnelevad tavalised esemed meie ümber, mustrid looduses ja meis endis, metamorfoos mõtetes ja tunnetes. Klaasi mitmekülgsus sobib minu muutliku natuuriga, võimaldades mul väljendada nii haprust, õrnust kui ka tugevust, jäikust.
“Everyday realism is also everyday magic" – this is what fuels and sustains my work. I love glass, beauty and the everyday. Though my work I am searching for my own centre and glass allows me to find that meditative moment of quiet. I am interested in the stories of everyday objects, in the patterns of nature and in ourselves, the metamorphosis of our thoughts and feelings. I contain multitudes. The essence of glass allows me to express both fragility and strength.
