Statement
The perturbing, complex, breathtaking, curious, wondrous, and absurd world around us, as well as the variety of living forms on it is the substance that feeds my imagination. I am constantly commenting and trying to solve relevant issues within my works, either in day-to-day life or more serious global problems such as religious, political and environmental. I believe that humour is one human reaction that is capable of connecting everyone, it echoes a natural human response to issues of difficulty, i.e. – “you have to laugh…”, and through the serious and highly crafted nature of my constructions it often resonates with elements which are very dark and present our lives.
I utilise whatever material best suites the concept. As a result, my works can be created from anything.
I think that art now is the ability to show and tell in a contemporary way what it means to be alive today. It can sensitise us to something in the world, clarify our perceptions and make us aware of decisions we have made. It is also interesting to highlight what art can be.
