My ceramic practice began with a research assignment about a news article. It was an article about how recently a new millipede fossil had been discovered in Limburg, The Netherlands. I wanted to capture the unique animal so that it would last for many years, just like the real fossil. This is how I started with ceramics, pressing a pattern in the clay to capture the Milipede. From there on I started trying out new things with slipcasting. I am still working on my ceramics practice, and learning something new every day.
