There are certain things you need to do. You might not know exactly how, just roughly. It can depend on time and place. The people you’re near. And it goes like this, there’s always something that breaks. There’s always something you lose or forget.

Sometimes I think my sculptures are ridiculous. Especially last winter, I thought so, but most of the time, I get into a rhythm. One thing happens after another.
Usually, concentrations of energy arise.

The light is crucial, colors and materials are crucial.
Light phenomena in the sky can be read as messages.
Light phenomena on the inside of the eyelids.
If only they could be turned into objects.

As a child, I was often angry,
furious.
At least that’s how I remember it.
My childhood was happy, I could do things I loved.

I have nothing more to add.
Only that I love being in the studio.
The window faces the sun and the water, the river.
It looks a bit like being on a boat.
