Since several years I’m busy with collecting plastic caps, which were primarily intended for a large-sized object.

When it became clear that a realisation of this project is not possible because of taking far too much time, I started to research about new methods of converting my, in the meantime (because my whole surrounding helped to collect) immense accumulation of caps.

 The caps itself are fascinating already by all their versatile colours, sizes, different transparency gradations, printings and reliefs, but not until the possibility of fusing, they appear in a new and fresh expression, away from their recognizable origin.

The process hereby is the most exciting and it’s surprising once again to see them change, fuse or observe their entire transformation. To see how the print curls, how transparent becomes opaque or the other way around, how a new structure or relief or complete new shape appear by heating and how different colours assemble in a new shape.

It is difficult to manipulate this process, in a way it goes by itself, and the appearance of the results are diverse and astonishing each time.

My work is comprised of the combination and repetition of geometric shapes, mostly spheres, semi spheres and its derivations. Harmony is achieved by multiplication, extension and reduction of these three dimensional pieces. There is also an element of optical illusion that shows concave and convex forms based on incidence of light. The pieces are three dimensional yet they have the impression of sketches on white paper. I like the challenge of combining precious and non precious materials such as gold, silver, enamel and resin.

I’m searching what a tradition meant to me. Coming from a country having strong folkloric culture made me sensitive about old craftsmanship. A search after what might be preserved and which elements have to extend across modernity is what I focus on.
