THE CREATION PROCESS
All sculptures are created by hand, using solely small tools in my studio located in Copenhagen and Tisvildeleje, surrounded by inspiration from the sea and landscapes around me. Using the traditional and ancient method called 'coiling' I carefully create every sculpture layer by layer, forming every piece by hand from a natural flow.
In contrast to the modern techniques in ceramics where pieces are created in for example a mould, this technique requires every single piece to go through a unique process of creation, as each piece is created only by my hands and are never fully the same.
Working with a natural material like stoneware requires a different approach in every phase of the creation process. After carefully creating the shape, the piece must dry slowly, a process that spans from 3 to 4 weeks, allowing the moisture to gradually depart the raw clay and leave behind a resilient form. Once the sculpting process reaches the final stage, the pieces undergo a transformative journey in a kiln, where they are subjected to the intense heat of 1250 degrees. This high-temperature firing not only solidifies structure, but it also enhances the color and texture, resulting in a final timeless and durable piece that embodies all of those phases.
