About my artwork
I will explain my used materials and creative practice first so that I can then try to explain the possible process that is going on externally, internally and unconsciously. This of course ties with my feelings of discomfort which remains largely unexplored or explained. My material choice is mostly organic. For me organic materials have an unexplained, party comforting, organic feel to it. It is solid, recyclable, unassuming and uncompromised. certainly i had to be able to understand the significance of the object in question to be produced, and its significance on our daily usage in the industrialised world. Theories support the idea that fear, persecutory anxiety, guilt and general uneasy and dread in the face of reality, can instigate the early urgency to displace such unconscious emotions, or even failed primary objects, on to an external object. This stimulates the creative urge and promotes the process of symbol formation which is entirely worked in the subconscious which is primary part of this body of work. The artwork questions ''The dilemma of Intimacy Versus Separation'' as a set of lived situations dealt, inflicted from the Corse of life.
The so called mutant situations which exacerbate in changing our perception or our personality, which on our daily basis emotion and attachments play apart.

Several years of making all sort of plans of revenge to the ex-husband for having sexually abused our son and subsequently trying to heal spiritually and emotionally by attempting to forgive in my heart with aim to free myself have resulted in an silent talk with God that night. I must say that my previous communication to the Almighty during that years were filled with accusation. I have been arguing with Him all the time. Why would He keep torturing and putting me in a really bad situation…See More
