“Conjuring images from inside, that cannot be found or
explained with words. From the start of the work there is
little to no plan for the end result. Predominantly using
metal as a canvas, it imparts a feeling of a cold, hard,
engineered material, contrasting organic images. Always
trying to intertwine my own consciousness with the natural
world, which leads to very unnatural images, mirrors of
myself, between the psychological and the physiological,
and the decomposition of both.”
