About me
There are two key elements to my work: natural forms (usually the human figure) and script. While script; phrases, sayings, text, quotes and poems are used as literal communication to the viewer, the human figure or an essense of life allows viewers to relate to themselves, therefore making the artwork more accessible to others. These works often place emphasis on not only the objects made, but also how they are presented; experiementing with lighting, space and combining different forms to intrigue the viewer.
