Me in Tokyo – for the new followers from the last month, thank you! My short CV and an ‚artist statement‘ to answer to your questions about my background – at least some of the questions, the easy ones about dates and education: The main focus of my work in porcelain and stoneware is the visual search for simplicity, serenity and beauty. Before I started my five years education as a ceramic artist, I built an academic background in Architecture, Art History and Philosophy and made then the bridge to craft. I am a quality worker not a quantity one: My work needs its time, sometimes a lot. CV: Born in Switzerland – but without a Swiss passport. I started my work as an independent ceramic artist in 1998 without a wheel. 2001-2006: Apprenticeship for ceramist with Master ceramist Mathies Schwarze, Germany. Wheel throwing. 1989-1995: Course of studies at the University of Zurich . Art History/German Philology/Philosophy (today M.A.) 1987-1989: Cours of studies at ETH Zurich .
