I aim to awaken the floral potential of everyday objects and to foster a cycle of cross-pollination between nature and artifice, and outdoors and in. Hence, I transform hubcaps found on the street into porcelain wallflowers and cover impressions taken from utility covers with lace and doily patterns.

I have devised rooms in which the wallpaper has come to life with porcelain growths, created monuments to fallen leaves, and dressed trees for winter by attaching ceramic leaf-wigs to their branches. I also create small objects that combine delicate porcelain and loose crochet, and sculptures based on trees.
