My project, Intertwined, is an exploration of the braid’s expression and its power. I apply different craft traditions and techniques on the material clay and observe and explore what happens in this translation. My braids often represent strength through linking, but also vulnerability through the material. I also explore the braid as a universal language, one that has been practised since ancient times. It is an intimate language that is based on a closeness to the material, something that is missing in our day and age.
