Why does the moon feature so prominently in your work?
The archetype of the moon stands for inspiration, meditation and intuition. Moon cycles influence my creativity: when the moon is full my dreams are suddenly enriched by textures and colours, which I gradually transform into artworks. Embracing this connection has opened the doors to more intuitive creativity.
What kind of objects do you like to make?
I have a wide range of series, but one of my specialties consists in kits for domestic rituals such as smudging and incense burning. Each object within this collection is carefully designed to maximise the positive effects of these rituals.
How does such a specific creative identity translate in terms running a business?
From the moment I started focusing on the objects that were truly meaningful to me my sales actually improved even though the prices are not, and cannot be, competitive. It is important to have a singularity, because that singularity will speak to the people who are really interested.
How did you get involved with ceramics in the first place?
I was one of those little girls who are always clean and do not like getting their hands dirty, therefore my choice to work with ceramics came as a surprise to everyone, including myself. From the moment I took clay in my hands it just felt like home.
