Artist Statement

​

I am an artist who works within, across and between painting, printmaking, sculpture, moving image, and installation.

In my practice I explore themes of memory, identity, human struggle, and everyday life.

I am most interested in the relationship between art and feeling, and how this is explored through colours, materials and marks. Natural light and gravity are recurrent elements in my works. 

In the process of making I am intuitive and spontaneous. My working attitude is not about exactness or perfection, but rather an approximation that retains certain hope, that anything is yet possible to happen. 

Either if it’s about craftsmanship, domestic life, poetry or human condition, I regard objects as containers of memories, feelings, and experiences. I love challenging their usual contexts, giving them new meanings in my works.
