Intervention in a domestic setting, a blockage of the en-suite bathroom. The wet cell, a space where everyone keeps their preverences reserved only for themselves.

A site-specific installation in a glass extension, in which the movement and sound of a piece of scrap metal are central. Inside the enclosed glass space, the character of the material becomes both visible and audible. A heavy strike of a metal rod against a large metal surface creates a deep echo that, in a single moment, brings together the physical experience of a scrapyard, metalworking, and the inner logic of the material itself.
The glass space strengthens the hardness and force of the material, while also offering a view through to the immense building that plays a role in the background of the work’s experience. Three stacks of bricks are placed under the balance points of the metal piece, holding it up and keeping it steady. In this way, the collaboration between two construction materials becomes visible. Just like in large-scale architecture, where stone and steel work together to carry a structure, this relationship is made visible here on a smaller scale.
An ongoing project is the study of the seating surface, with emphasis on the placement of chairs within spaces and the defining role of this object in relationship to humans.
I work with digital drawings to explore space, parts, and weight in a new way. In the digital space, Physical limitations such as scale, function, and material behaviour become less dominant, allowing a new image or construction to emerge.
White space becomes an active part of the work, allowing objects to break away from their original background.. Light, shadow, and shifts in form are captured in a single moment and shape the structure and atmosphere of the object.
