'Golden future'
"My
choice of glass as a medium of expression has not come about through careful
consideration but lies purely with the intriguing and attractive power of this
material.
Glass is a material that was discovered by
coincidence centuries ago and ever since has been used to create innumerable
objects, utensils as well as art, of which millions have survived the test of
time.
Although it is a very breakable and
brittle material, artists, designers and industry find more and more
applications for the use of glass.
For
me glass inspires, seduces, challenges and teaches.
What
fascinates me most is the duality of glass. Glass can be used in unlimited ways
to fashion and manufacture objects while still maintaining a very fragile
nature.
“Nature”, the essence of all life on this
earth, is to me an inexhaustible source of inspiration for the creation of
glass objects.
The influence of a glass object,
functional as well as plastic, is often so big and can be so enriching
… that I always enjoy accepting the challenge."
