In my artistic practice I work around sculpture and painting, painting is in many ways the starting point, sculpture, video and installation are the method. My art revolves around seeing and perception, how we create meaning, values and understanding through different conventions, ideologies or worldviews. I am interested in how these express themselves in the forms and images we surround ourselves with in our architecture, design, art and popular culture. Perhaps in particular Modernity's straight lines, functionalism and ideals of cleanliness, or the Baroque's excessive, dizzying ornamentation.

Our relationship to the material, to our body, to the disgusting, to decay and transience is also an important part. Being a mind that cannot be eternal, needing control in an entropic world. I therefore look to nature and biology, and how we systematize them in science to create stable systems through which we can understand the world and our existence. The Western history of ideas has been characterized by dualism and separation, which has generated a view of the body as separated from the mind, of nature as something we can use and rule over as we wish. The abstract systems have been disconnected from the material reality of our being, and now we are really starting to feel the consequences of this way of thinking. The more I look at and learn about nature, I see that everything is permeable, dizzying, amazing and terrifying. In short, my practice is a desire for clarity and an exercise in losing control.
