I love simple, elegant and unforced forms and colours. My love for ceramics started in Japan and I feel
very close to the approach and relationships people from the east have with their ceramics and their makers.
Next to a successful and fulfilling career as a photographer I found a new and great passion in working
with clay, this humble material brings me joy everyday and never ceases to challenge me. I love making
unique pieces, sometimes from the same family but seldom identical twins.
What is important to me is the individual character, the weight & balance. it’s texture, how it sits in your
hand, how it kisses your lips when you drink, developing an intimate relationship.
My glazes are all self-made and (re)designed from a growing self-sourced inventory keeping a keen eye
out to my footprint and then woodfired, blessed by real fire.
我熱愛簡單、優雅、不做作的型態與色彩。在日本的期間，啟發了我對陶藝的熱情，東方人對陶器和創
作者之間的關係與看法，讓我覺得非常熟悉與親切。
在成功並充滿成就感的攝影師生涯之外，我在陶土創作的過程中發掘了一種新的強烈情感。這平凡的材
料每天都帶來快樂以及不間斷的挑戰。我熱愛製作獨一無二的作品，雖然有時是屬於同一系列，但幾乎
不會有完全一樣的創作。
對我來說，重要的是作品本身的個性以及它的重量與平衡。它的質地、捧在手中的感覺、在品茶時親吻
雙唇的方式，最終發展成一種親密關係。
我的釉藥都是自行調配的，在自行採集並逐漸增加的釉藥配方中，一面注意自己的足跡一面設計配方。
最後在柴窯中接受真實火焰的洗禮。
