Connected By A Kiss

"A kiss is a fragile and powerful thing and has many meanings and reasons. I see it as a way in which connection is sought, an acknowledgement of the other. With this object I seek the representation of this subtle action that has a contradictory and powerful effect. In this work I have chosen different, soft and full colors of brown that remind me of the different coffees. Recognizable in all my works are the round shapes. This piece is one of the first works where I move more towards sculpture work, where my preference for round and material use of brass creates a clear connection with my other objects. Brass is an extremely interesting material to me. It oxidizes and changes color as time passes. The brass I use is handcrafted and has imperfections, just like life."

Captured movement collection
"Chemical processes have always fascinated me. In this work, I created colors with the help of influencing humidity, temperature and use of different metal pigments. The visible different colors are several stages of oxidation. By using this technique I seek a playing field which is between manipulation and chance. The outcome is a surprise beyond the factors I determine. Each piece made with this technique is unique on all levels. A captured movement. In the end I provide my works with a shiny and reflective layer of epoxy resin which for me, on the one hand, represents the interpretation of the viewer and his/her environment and, on the other hand, gives volume and depth to the colors."
