Gravel – I walk through construction sites and examine construction waste – wooden boards saturated with cement and concrete, broken and worn-out from use, remnants of curled iron wire, rusted steel scraps and gravel left on the sidewalk. I collect them and incorporate them in my works.

When working in the studio, I examine the shades of the gravel stones, their shape, the sharpness of their angles, their size and feel. I join the stones to the iron wire – materials traditionally perceived as masculine, while using craft techniques traditionally perceived as feminine – tying, crocheting and embroidering with different kinds of string.
