During the last years, I have been experimenting with the properties of modern materials,
such as plastic, acetate, polycarbonate, Mylar, and glass. I have also been experimenting with photography,light and the sculptural
qualities of some elements. I have been working on three-dimensional pieces,maybe only an inch or two thick, using Mylar and
acetate to create layers within the internal space. The use of these transparencies and 3D technique has suited my purposes
perfectly. I subject them to various conditions and elements to give them just the effect I am looking for. I create worlds
where the viewer is allowed to see some things clearly, some things opaquely, but all things seen are intended to reflect
an outer and inner world of psychological stress, fragility and dislocation.
“My
current work explores the conflict on the one hand between the external, structured world in which we all live and are measured
and evaluated. But that is only one layer of our lives. On a deeper layer resides our internal, fluid selves, where emotions
may be undisciplined and cannot be easily charted. But this is also where the yearning for the connection with independence,
freedom and closeness to nature is most purely expressed.”
