“I am born in Hamburg, Germany. I completed a Diploma: in Fashion/Textile - design (Germany) in 1976. I worked for 20 years as a designer (freelance).
I was a founding member of the artist group “WERKSTATT 97” ( Germany). Exhibitions included places like Schloss Reinbek, Bossard Tempel, GEDOK, Hamburg. As a designer I have exhibited in major trade fairs in Hamburger and Internationale Frankfurter Messe, Germany.
Materials I have worked with are: textile, blown glass, porcelain (decals design), sandstone and plaster. Since migrating to Australia in 2009, I have been exploring the sculptural qualities of stoneware. My work starts with the interest in form. There is no difference to me if it is a form of a horse, head or coiled pot. They are all sculptures with monumental qualities. I need the more abstract form of the vessel to create my horses or heads. The process is generally a long one and there are no shortcuts.”
