WONDER WHO
I love painting. But unlike Degas, Monet and Van Gogh I paint with knitting needles. And my works hang at the most dignified exhibitions of them all, that is on women.
To knit is to me to meditate. The only certainty in the process is, that I begin by putting out the colours. What the result will end op with, I don't know. You may say, that I have some kind of spiritualistic contact with the subconscious mind. What's most important is really, that I'm faithful to myself.
Each article of clothing reflects a bit of History. That history which is still to be told in those moments of my life, while I was working, and the knitting needles crackled. Just as lively and intense as the crackling fire, just as thunder or subdue, becomes the knitwear.
My works are the sum of the contemporaries and the threads of life spun together. That means, that whoever acquires one of my articles of knitwear, will acquire a bit of that history too. That is why my articles of knitwear last much longer than the next sale, because the soul doesn't have a sell-by date.
