I’ve always thought that the simpler the thing is the better and more powerful it is. This is also my challenge. The shape and form of everyday objects that surround me, such as animal shapes, body parts, posters, symbols and vessels, have been recurring themes in my work. My sculptures are an ongoing dialogue with the elegance and economy of line reminiscent of the turn-of-the-century modernists.

I like the challenge of orchestrating the balance between the form of a sculpture, the negative space within the sculpture and the perceived space surrounding the piece. This perceived space or aura around one of my sculptures is very tangible. I see this pressure slicing and squeezing the sculpture from all sides as being the real force that gives life to the work. It is the beautiful balance between these three factors that I look for and which give emotion and soul to the piece.
