The refinement and precision as well as the sometimes very creative design solutions that were employed in this eighteenth century porcelain, caused me to develop a special interest in this work of art.
In the pieces presented on this page I try to investigate the possibilities to equal these qualities by the use of contemporary ceramic techniques such as digital and silk screened transfers.
The overexcited and abundant decorations from this early age of porcelain manufactory with their flourished borders around depictions of natural scenery are exceptional and exactly this over stylized aspect I have tried to examine and incorporate in my designs.
Also my decoration themes are inspired by eighteenth century Dutch porcelain, by applying images and photographs from nature and the insect world. This natural world is looked upon differently today. My personal and somewhat playful comments on nature are presented within these decorated objects.
The juxtaposition of classical decorations with a contemporary " bucket” shape mixes traditional and non-traditional idioms to create a new and personal concept.
