“As an artist I have always been inspired by the movement of air and water in all its forms in nature. The way wind and air bend en swirl and record for just a moment the memory of movement of just sound or a touch fascinates me. These ripples those memories make, you can find anywhere in nature. Also people make and leave ripples in there surroundings and in other people’s lives and eventually they fade away. Clear blown glass is a material that can capture these ripples very good. Glass also reflects and interacts with it’s surroundings. My floating objects make calligraphics of these memories in a very special way.“
