Animals are vanishing from the lives of city-dwellers. In our minds, they are slowly replaced by stylised representations. If you think of a mouse, is it a real mouse you see, or a disneyfied or otherwise branded depiction? With my porcelain mice I am trying to merge cute kitsch rodents with their real living cousins. Frozen mice, available by the dozen as snake food, are used to make moulds from which I cast precious porcelain jewellery.
