statement
Characteristic of her representations are the abstracts, autonomous objects of mathematical proportions. They seem to float, despite their robustness. Their interface is the point at which the shape is in balance. The dimensions and the ratios reflect the harmonious balance of natural growth processes. Harmony is also recognisable in the use of colours, often blue and green tints, and in the game played by light and shadow on the surface.
