Every place has its purpose, its history and its own space. All these places - parks, school yards, gardens - are in use by people. I create site-specific artworks to celebrate these living places, areas that have their special uses and that are constantly changing. Nature and its enormous diversity are my inspiration and a tool for me to create works of art. I am particularly inspired by the meaning that nature, landscape, trees and plants hold for people and their environment. For one person an apple tree is mainly an object of use because of the fruit that it produces, while another sees the tree's blossom in spring and the beauty of its form. This cultural layer is reflected in the artworks: a butterfly window, a sunflower garden or a project about extreme weather at sea. Just as diverse as the places for which they are made.
