I am an interdisciplinary artist working towards something with no end. I am interested in the possibilities that lay around, ahead, behind and in us; a time with no beginning, middle or end. The dismantling of facts by shifts of perception and experience interest me the most. I want viewers to encounter my work not as a stationary presence, but as a phenomena of existential space.
