Artist statement

"My work questions the connotations of feminine/masculine, the perception of time, the part of nature that we are – and the nature which is around us. I create ongoing series of curved, egg-shaped forms. I use materials that are as fragile as the posidonia seagrass or as strong as bronze. Sizes range from small to monumental – and are for intimate spaces or large pubic spaces. Regardless of the scale, my explorations are a continuing search for the heart of the female soul."

Presentation of my work at Guggenheim - Bilbao - 11/11/11.
