“Under the artist’s hand, the raw material seemingly eludes the usual material properties. She makes the material basalt pliable. Her works with stone claim that it takes no effort to work grown stone as if it would never break, as if it would offer no resistance to reveal its inherent beauty. In a transcendence of the material, an elementary volcanic rock finds elegance and unexpected dynamism. The stone appears to adopt the language of form and does not subordinate itself to the formal thinking of our expectations of heaviness.
