ARTIST STATEMENT
The mystics will tell you that it was written in the stars. Born under a fire sign, born in the year of a fire creature. But then, if you were raised by two scientists like I was, you will be cautioned about putting your faith in the stars… The gist of this story is more about an inquisitive mind, a passionate nature and an endless fascination with the transformative power of fire. Maintaining a holy respect for it, whilst constantly striving to find the balance between creation and destruction. Restless hands. Hands that constantly need to give shape to things the mind conjures. I was born and raised in South Africa. I have lived in North Vancouver, Canada since 1997. I graduated with degrees in Political Science and Journalism, and worked in the film industry both in South Africa and Canada for almost two decades. Involved with different art forms since childhood, I started working with clay as a teenager, training with a number of potters both in South Africa and in Vancouver, Canada.
