The focus in my monochromatic art pieces is set on the influence of light, making us aware of the light surrounding us in our everyday life.

A feature of my relief art is that the pieces adapt to the changes of light in the room; its type, intensity, and angle suggest direction and movement. The depth literally adds another dimension. As light moves across a room during the day, it creates a variety of compositions in one piece. The daily and seasonal journey of light and particularly sunlight represents the steady passing of time. The pieces encourage mindful reflection on the passage of time, and the cherishing of valuable moments.

I bring this sense of mindfulness to my work: each piece is carefully and deliberately crafted by hand. I trust that this investment of time, thoughtfulness, and patience elevates the craftsmanship in my work.

Art helps to see the invisible and light helps with this. Without light, we wouldn’t be able to see. That’s why I focus on the light; I give the light a place to land and shape the art piece.
