“I am interested in our relationship to each other, to other species and to our environment. I like to explore narrative in my work try to reveal truths that lie just beneath the surface, through symbolism and loose associations that spark connections. These associations may be dark or playful, but always beautiful because it is though beauty that our hearts and minds are opened and we can access our soul.
