My work investigates the customs and rituals from different cultures, how cycles of life are represented, their relevance and importance in today's society. A recent sound installation 'Telling the Bees' explored ceremonial rituals that are still widely observed within beekeeping communities. Three wooden white fabric covered beehives emitted the sounds of a bee swarm and spoken words related to death and immortality.
At other times my sculptures and installations give form to memories, thoughts and emotions, resulting in objects that reflect my history. In the sculpture 'You cannot run but you can still be beautiful (2)' plastic tubes were bound and wrapped using colorful fabrics that held emotional significance. Objects associated with femininity were stitched onto the fabric to achieve a feeling of intimacy and memory making
. My most recent works are an ongoing response to my continuous love of nature and the natural world. These sculptures, influenced and inspired by artist like Joseph Beuys, Mark Dion and Berlinde de Bruyckere, also reflect my sensitivity towards environmental issues and animal exploitation. The oversized ceramic work 'Queen Bee' draws attention to manipulative interference within beekeeping. In the works 'Press in Cage Q0011', 'Bamboo Queen Cage Q0095', 'Plunger Q0013' and 'Butler Cage Q0027' objects of such manipulation and exploitation have been magnified. Clinical in appearance, the shapes seem both familiar and unfamiliar and invite critical reflection on humans' interaction with nature.
