The vessel, the ability to hold something is a fundamental thought supporting my work. With this idea as a source I have developed helmets, heads, machines and gadgetry. Those groups overlap, as the vessel is the source of all in form and content and because the character of my work is developed by modelling, compressing, cutting, assembling, piercing and arranging series. This process always helps surfacing new structures of the material.
