Unique handmade porcelain inspired by the underwater world

In my work I strive to make the beauty of underwater life tangible and bring it close to our living rooms. My works aim to initiate a dialogue about the fragility of such a beautiful environment and the impact of our human activity. The works are called "PrickleS". They represent all wonderful kinds of marine animals, like sea urchins, anemones and tunicates. Each work of this series is unique and handmade in pure porcelain. “PrickleS” look pure and natural, and though it looks like they may stab and sting, they emanate a huge tactile attractiveness.. They give a tickling sensation when holding, but their fragility also demands you to cherish them. Just the same as our marine life.

Losing a furry friend leaves a hole in your heart.

The Z.I.P. urn is named after my sweetest cat ‘Zipke’ who shared her life with me for 20 years. As soon as I realized her time was about to come, I created an urn to honour her. Not just an urn, a little piece of art in which our souls would forever be intertwined. I struggled in the process, but it offered me much peace of heart after I had to let her go. That is when I decided to make it part of my portfolio and offer you a little quiet spot where souls can meet again too. In memory of your furry friend.

Z.I.P urns are made of porcelain or stoneware. The urns can also be personalized with an engraved name. They are available in different colours and 2 different sizes:
- Pets up to 12 – 16 kg (40cl, 11x7x14cm)
- Pets up to 30 – 40 kg (100cl, 14x9x20cm)
