Statement
As an artist, I work eclectically with materials and media, I handle large number of different materials and expressions, ranging from two- and three-dimensional to new, time- and -mixed media, I often uses nature’s own materials, such as living or dead organisms, including insects, plants and rocks.. I am interested in relationship between human/nature, the contrast between different things, sizes, inside and out, light and darkness, narratives of the past and those that might come to be. I want to emphasize the poetic qualities.
In the middle of nowhere is the best place to be.-- Chun Lee Wang Gurt
