The creative process comes from a habit of walking in the mountains and a fascination with colored earths and the texture of rocks. Over the years I have gotten into the habit of collecting materials, including twigs, pebbles, or moss, taking only what I could physically carry in my backpack. Like something precious that I steal without being seen. When I return to the studio, I sort my earths, clean them, and then I make sculptures in the shape of a vase, to put branches, or flowers. The objects are like"still life" in a Naturalism way...
