Biography
Initially trained in ceramics, the artist gradually expanded her practice to include sculpture, collage, jewellery, drawing, and installation. She favors the use of raw, often organic materials—such as dried leaves, bread dough, and vegetable resin—to explore the relationship between traces of the human body and the natural world, while rejecting the notion of the artwork as a precious object.
