The mountains soil
Mountain clay
Along the way I am collecting the earth from the old sacred mountains and on the spot transfrom it into clay. From this clay I create sculptures, figurines from the earth itself and place them in selfmade shrines. At the same time I am sending clay to my studio in Amsterdam to collect all the different soils from the mountains. Many local potterers have tought me their old techniques of making clay and let me used their kilns to fire the sculptures.
