I am driven by the relationship between ‘natural’ and ‘technological’ forms. I am motivated by an ‘energy’ I cannot explain in words. I want the feel of my work to span the far past and the future as if standing on the edge of a vast, timeless canyon, cityscape or ocean.
I strive to convey energetic artworks, by using a vivid line, intuitive placement of solids, voids and sculptural colour. This energy could be perceived as ‘spiritual’, ‘scientific’ or both.
In my work, I like to fuse a range of media including sculpture, drawing, painting and digital technologies. Drawing with pen and paper is always the starting point for my ideas. Every art piece I create, I have no rigid rules and try to develop each piece as a new entity.
