How do we choose our specific material, our means of communication? Accidentally? Or maybe they choose us? Something provokes us over time, addresses us in a specific way, whether it is a sound, touch, smell, hardness or softness, fascinates us and requires us to shape ourselves and shape it. In the process, we slowly find our language and as creators we are constantly involved in a dialogue with our medium. In my case, I was caught by the threads, really against my will. Working with threads seemed too soft, too sensitive. I wanted to create something strong! But circumstances trapped me in threads, completely entangled me, and eventually completely won me over. I learned to listen to them and speak their language. The encounter with one's own part took place in an integral way, where creation was understood as a form of thinking, the material became a substitute for emotion and idea, and tactility became my medium of communication. The sensibility and intimacy of the soft materials thus revealed itself to me as a strength, not a weakness.

Richly textured surfaces, with reminiscence of organic forms, are created by a difficult and long-lasting energetic process of rubbing and kneading woolen fibers until they merge into one piece. Each work is eventually transformed into a unique piece of art, a hybrid of painting and sculpture. "Tactile dialogues" thus speak of the newly discovered freedom with which I moved between different media, of unexpected and symbolic textile applications, of tactility, attractiveness and aversion, but also of creating art that provokes with its softness and vitality.
