ABOUT

Inga is drawn to the tactile and sculptural potential of clay, embracing the beauty that arises through the imperfections of making by hand. Her practice celebrates the organic, the irregular, and the sensual. 
​
Since childhood, Inga has been a collector of treasures—seed pods, pebbles, weathered fragments, and other found objects. These items, worn by time and shaped by nature, continue to inform and inspire her creative process. She draws particular fascination from the rhythmic imprints of the sea, layered textures, the smoothness of worn stones, delicate, broken edges, and the unfurling of ferns. Faceted seed pods and other botanical forms echo through her work, translated into clay through a personal, intuitive vocabulary. 
​
Each piece is one of a kind. Some are hand-built, evolving in response to the clay; others begin on the wheel and are then altered, stretched, or sculpted into new forms. She relishes the process of experimentation, often combining textured clays, slips, organic materials, paper, and metal to create rich, unexpected surfaces. Her work is driven by visceral emotion - defined by a sensitivity to contrast—between vulnerability and strength, smoothness and roughness, structure and spontaneity.
