artistic statement:
My practice consists of a continuous renegotiation of roles and perspectives. I aim to express the emotionally difficult, to challenge my sensibility, upheave my aesthetic, my identity, my vision with information taken in through the senses, through exhaustive examination and through direct experience. I do this through process oriented arts, presented in sculpture, installation, and performance.
